When using the wall drawing machine, the washable markers are great for checking draft artwork on a wall.
Experiment with upscale, detailed patterns and images, different layouts, and geometric viewpoints. The machine will draw exactly what you’ve drawn on the computer at the scale you want. The large-scale outline can show design flows and mistakes that are difficult to spot on a computer monitor. You can even sketch your design on the client’s wall to demonstrate it and get final approval.
Crayola Washable Markers, in our opinion, are the greatest. Outlines created using Crayola Ultra-Clean Washable Markers are easily cleaned.
Botsy’s Pen Holder can accommodate drawing tools with a diameter ranging from 0.35″ to 0.86″ (9mm to 22mm). You can use Sharpies, whiteboard markers, chalk markers, industrial-grade Sharpies, glass pens, and washable markers. Botsy works with various pens, pencils, and markers. Popular sets are available at retail stores, specialty hobby shops, and online marketplaces.
Choose your drawing tool based on the surface you’re working on—such as paper, painted drywall, plywood, or concrete walls. For uneven surfaces, use a marker with a sturdy tip to maintain its shape and avoid “mush
You can certainly use the liquid chalk markers.
Our drawing robots do not require proprietary markers. You can use your favorite store-bought chalk markers, the same ones you use for sketching.
In the video, you can see the final stage of outlining the Espresso chalkboard. Botsy draws at a typical speed.
Two types of markers are in use:
- Liquid wet-wipe markers for menu items and prices. These can be easily erased with a damp cloth or sponge.
- Permanent markers for the decorative elements.
The finished chalkboard is for a coffee shop.
The overhead signs with wet-wipe liquid markers.
First, the blackboards are mounted on the wall and outlined with white and green chalk markers. After outlining, the letters are hand-colored.
Case Study: Chalk Menu Boards for Palm City Nutrition
Botsy, according to a professional artist with an SFAI (San Francisco Art Institute) diploma, speeds up to 10 times the wall outlining process for complex vector art.
How did we figure this out?
Botsy traced this large 6-by-30-foot mural at the University of Florida. The experienced artist estimated that the same accurate outlining would take him 4-5 days. The drawing robot finished four mural sections in around 40-45 minutes each! That is why Botsy outperforms artists by a factor of 10 in image tracing.

Technology and Science Museums
Robots that draw on the wall could be demonstrated to young children by Technology and Science Museums as an exciting and engaging way to inspire them in art. Robots can help bring creativity to life and make art creation more interactive. Furthermore, robots can introduce children to the concepts of coding and automation, allowing them to investigate the possibilities of robotics. The museum can help foster young children’s creativity, spark their imagination, and potentially even motivate them to pursue a career in technology by introducing robotics to them in an engaging way.
Schools with STEAM
Botsy, the drawing robot, is based on an Arduino microcontroller with CNC parts. Bringing robotics into the classroom is a great way to get students interested in learning. Students can learn more about coding, electronics, and engineering by making robotics and art projects with Arduino. By using a robotic tool to make artworks, students can work on their problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills. Also, it gives people a chance to think creatively and find out all the different things they can do with the drawing robot. In the end, learning robotics with Arduino can be a fun way to introduce STEAM ideas.
Universities and Colleges
that have an art department that includes a fabrication lab.
Students participate in a variety of classes that focus on the topic of digital fabrication (i.e., CNC, laser, and vinyl fabrication, as well as digital design and 3D printing). Botsy could be used as an additional tool in conjunction with the pen-and-paper paradigm. The wall drawing machine has multiple applications, including fabrication and the creation of items that can be used by students in the art department and elsewhere on campus.

Yes, you can scale up a sketch using the drawing robot and a wood project.
These images show how to use Botsy over plywood to make a 3D window frame with traditional folk elements.
The drawing robot automatically outlines the sketch on the plywood in full size. In this case, there is no need for transfer paper.
This robot functions as a pen plotter, reducing labor costs associated with digital image transfer and increasing the consistency of the transfer process.
To begin, the entire window frame was blown up to full size on the wall. The full-size image greatly helps in detecting design flaws. The frame elements were then transferred to the plywood. The wood parts were then created using hand tools rather than a large CNC machine.
The faux stained glass is essentially fake stained glass that tends to be much more affordable.
The wall drawing robot is an excellent tool for sketching out your initial project on a wall. Botsy has a large drawing area, allowing you to create a realistic image. The image that will be displayed in your window frame. Furthermore, many faux stained glass designs have precise geometry and perfect symmetry. The drawing robot will outline everything for you with great precision.
