Hello,
We've used a robot called "The Scribbler" from Parallex on the
floor with our visitors with some success. It has several
preprogrammed operations, one of which is a drawing program that
directs the robots to draw simple patterns on a sheet of paper.
Our visitors then took home the sheets that the robot drew on
for them.
