The goal of this exercise was to create a pair of physical turtle-like rovers which were readily programmable via TurtleArt, a Scratch-like program, written in Python, for the One Laptop Per Child project.
Along the way, we made some focused design decisions to make this project readily extensible and easily graspable. Our turtles are built around the Arduino, with our code interpretation software written in Python.

Signing UpStep 1Printing the Body
The body for our turtles was 3d printed. Our shell was designed in OpenSCAD, a FOSS computer-assisted design program available from http://www.openscad.org/ .
We attempted to print the shell on a CupCake 3d printer made by MakerBot Industries. We wound up using a Dimension SST 1200es, as it was available, bug free, and could handle larger volume prints.
