Ignore all the scad stuff - I can't work out how to omit that, but some small changes to the python, particularly I think the penup/pendown positions need 45 degrees of travel. 90 makes no sense as it just risks grinding the servo arm into the base which kippered my servo.

… connectors from amazon. Fixed bug in robot build stl build script.
…fully - not enough info recorded at the moment, that needs work

2) penup-pendown travel 45 degrees, not 90. It's very hard to set the cam on the servo properly so you get the pen properly up, and then don't grind it when down if at 90 degrees. If up is the servo at 90 (assuming "up" has the cam set at a nice 45 degree angle to the horizontal) then everything works nicely.

It's kinda tough to pull apart pull requests like this... The best thing to do (imho) is to use branches. Since you don't have too many changes you could - back up your repo as-is... refork the original... make 2 branches... apply the STL changes in one branch and the firmware in the other... pull request on the firmware branch. Different branches are a good way to deal with these sorts of things I think.
