Botsy is a drawing robot. It is a portable, easy-to-set-up wall drawing machine. It can automatically draw your vector art accurately, fast and at a large-scale.
Save your time by quick outlining, get more projects done, and make money.
Patent US 10,877,459 B2
Import your vector file into our software to generate a Botsy control file.
Send your file to the drawing robot via Bluetooth to start outlining.
Once the outline is made, color in your artwork or cut out your shape. Enjoy!
Clean removal- no need for screws or nails. Use popular 3M Command Strips to stick Botsy temporarily to a wall, a whiteboard, plywood or other surfaces. Thanks to our patent design, you can install or remove the drawing machine quickly with no damage to the wall, no tools needed. When the artwork is done, hangers come off easily no damage, no nail holes, and no cracked plaster. Use Crayola washable markers to “draft” artwork on walls in real size before permanently coloring in the mural. If the art drawing is not right or if your client requests a change, simply wash away the design, correct it, and let Botsy redraw. You can use this new artistic tool to draft, outline, and experiment.
Instead of using 3M Command Strips, use our Adjustable Poles to lean the horizontal track with the drawing robot against a wall. This method is especially recommended for mural artists who paint outside on large walls, or for those who plan to draw on rough surfaces. The add-ons include two Adjustable Poles that extend up to 12 feet. This allows to move Botsy in blocks quickly to cover large areas and to draw with Botsy up to 12 feet. Just extend the poles and let Botsy outline your image. In order to trace images on cinder blocks or rough walls, add the Rough Surface Pen Holder at check-out.
SAVE TIME by transferring and outlining your designs faster than with traditional methods: projector, carbon paper, punched paper. Therefore, add Botsy to your artist's tool kit. Repeat artwork for different clients, paint while Botsy draws, and let the machine outline repetitive patterns accurately.
That's why there is no need to wake up before sunrise to set up a projector for an outdoor artwork. Botsy is an extra helping hand in your toolbox.
EXPERIMENT with upscale, complex images and patterns, different designs, and geometric perspectives. Add repetitive and otherwise tedious elements to your art. The robot draws exactly what you want at the scale you desire.
For this reason beginner artists can start large and learn fast. Graphic designers can bring digital art to the real world. Interior decorators can trace geometric patterns in modern homes.
DRAW ON different vertical surfaces: drywall, inside & outside walls, glass, whiteboards, chalkboards, plywood, plastics or metals.
DRAW WITH off-the-shelf markers, pens, pencils, whiteboard markers, chalk markers or washable markers. Ultimately use your favorite brand of markers.
BRING IT to your client’s location, a friend’s apartment, a family home or a company’s office. Botsy is lightweight and can be taken apart to transport in a car.
"Thank you Botsy! This simple but genius drawing robot is such a huge timesaver. Applying the lettering of my mural could have taken me a few hours ... but it just took up 30 minutes with the help of Botsy. I had a chat and drink while this lean, mean, drawing machine was doing its job!"
– Marga, Designer
"Working with a robot is something I had never imagined before. It was really an awesome and a challenging experience for me, as of course it is a machine and goes quite fast."
– Sijiin, Artist
"Botsy has helped us finish our large outdoor mural faster. After that I don't have to wake up at 5 a.m. to use a projector."
– Steffen, Mural Artist
