Thinking of a robot which can draw basic shapes upon command. Ideally, a voice command, but if that's too complex, we can start off with a different type of command. I'm a python programmer, but have zero experience with adruino and the like. Please give me some advice to help me get started.

RepRap is the original place where the 3d printing hobby got started. It has a wealth of info about DIY robotics and how to do more than just buying something.
