“Use a joystick to control a classic drawing toy through two DC motors.
The Etch A Sketch is a drawing toy with a thick, flat gray screen in a red plastic frame. There are two white knobs on the front of the frame in the lower corners. Twisting the knobs moves a stylus that displaces aluminum powder on the back of the screen, leaving a solid line. - wikipedia
This toy is basically a simple two-axis plotter, so with a few geared DC motors, you can easily add additional functionality using a joystick (or Wii remote) to control it.
