This project consists of two robots that explore their environment leaving colored marks, or graffiti, on the ground. These marks are a declaration of existence. These two robots also react to one another. They will not cross the other's drawn marks. This can lead to problems such as drawing themselves into a corner. A third robot travels through the environment erasing the marks left by the others. This also shows that the robot exists.
