By the looks of it, one motor moves the cart along, one controls the how far up and down the page the pen tip is. The last raises and lowers the pen tip.
You could get a second line if the that up/down location on the page mechanism was widened much further. But it looks like the bot itself would not be able to maneuver to a 2nd line by itself.
i was contacted by the owner a few days ago after he saw it at http://www.airkraft-nxt.blogspot.com, and he gave me a link to a website where he is based. i will tryand find that link again, as i have lots the message!

I wonder if it's capable of moving to a second line?
