BAXTER Robot Elastic Pen Holder

Currently (April 2017), I'm a PhD candidate at the [Centre for Robotics and Neural Systems, Plymouth University](https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/research/robotics-neural-systems), working with [learning (or programming) by demonstration using Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) implemented as Liquid State Machines (LSM)](https://github.com/ricardodeazambuja/IJCNN2016).

So, I designed this elastic pen holder because it's not so easy to teach a robot to draw using an uneven surface (although we have [a paper based on LSM and Sensor Fusion](https://github.com/ricardodeazambuja/I2MTC2017-LSMFusion) that partially solves this problem). Also, Baxter was not designed to be super precise and [its positional accuracy is +/-5mm](http://sdk.rethinkrobotics.com/wiki/Hardware_Specifications#Miscellaneous_Specifications).

*Hint: you should be able to reuse the same screws from the vacuum or electrical grippers.*
