On the weekend of 2 June 2012, the CrankyBot team teek part in GovHack, a community hackathon to develop applications based on open government data.

We developed a script which scrapes climate data from the Bureau of Meteorology's ACORN-SAT dataset, and then generates an SVG of the data ready to be lasercut.

The script can be downloaded for tinkering at Thingiverse.
