Create programmatic art in our web-based editor and submit it to the gallery and we'll send you a CNC machine which can make that art.
Blot is a "You Ship, We Ship" project from [Hack Club](https://hackclub.com) (like [Sprig](https://github.com/hackclub/sprig)).

A piece of art made for Blot can be the first program you ever write, but it can also be a challenge for a master programmer. Check out some of the art made already in our gallery.

# Blot is...

**A custom CNC drawing machine** designed from scratch to introduce you to digital fabrication. It's made of 6 unique 3D printed parts with a custom control board and easy to understand firmware, which can be interfaced with through JavaScript in the browser.

Check out the 3D model of the project here (COMING SOON).

You can find the 3D parts for the model here (LINK PARTS LIST).

**A web based editor for programmatic art** that we designed specifically for pen plotting with a custom geometry library.

# To get started

Check out the examples in the [gallery](https://blot.hackclub.dev/gallery) and then follow along with some of our [guides](https://blot.hackclub.dev/guides).

The guides are designed to work like visual coding puzzles, which incrementally bring you through building generative art pieces.
