This piece drips paint into a bowl of water. The water is occasionally stirred for the visual effect of
swirling the paint and also to help dissolve it. The paint is dripped when a motor driven assembly opens a valve while
the liquid is stirred by a motor driven propeller.
This piece was constructed using LEGO Mindstorms programmed using the LegOS system.
It was constructed from various LEGOs pieces gears and motors and included additional materials: a brass ball valve,
pipe, nozzle, and plastic tubing. The pigment is diluted poster paint that drips into a bowl of water.
