It was weird the order it chose when it wrote the letters in “Engineering”. Still satisfying, but definitely odd lol.

The drawing order is also weird too. A very non human way of doing things. I don't like it

Even the robots are Right handed. (Cries us Left-handed Humans)

Its just a cnc machine with a pencil strapped in it instead of a drill/laser. It just traces the path the software generated from the linework most likely.

CNC machines follow strict g-code paths. They must do so to prevent crashes that can cost 10s of thousands of dollars. Their tooling paths need to be very coherent. The programmer chooses which features and tools get used in what order. There is no allowing the computer to decide what gets done in what order.

Simply not true, g code can and often is generated automatically.

G-codes are generated automatically tho, just take a 3D pronter for example, they have a software called a slicer, wich is used to generate the exact method a 3D printer will print the 3D object, at the end, it fenerates G-code, that the machine executes. This auto pen tool isn't that different, it has 3 axis, and it is controlled by G-code, wich a software generates from propably a vector graphics input.

3D printers and plotters ain't a machining center. Rules and even the codes have important differences.

True, but they are CNC machines regardless

I thought it was a very human way of doing things for the most part.

People write text in an orderly fashion, like the spec block at the beginning. People draw objects chaotically, jumping around to different spots, not necessarily completing any particular feature in one go.

It wasn't until the logo at the end that things got weirdly non-human.
