A drawing robot
at their birthday party.

Children can watch their portrait appear on paper, then take it home from the party. Toddlers love watching, and adults get portraits too. We bring the equipment and an attendant to help guests.

The process

How it works
at your party.

Three steps, run by our attendant. Before the party, we’ll agree on the space, power, timing and number of portraits to plan for.

1
We arrive and set up

We arrive at least 30 minutes before your start time and set up our 6-foot table, the robot and the photo tablet. You just need room for the table, space for guests to watch and one standard outlet nearby.

2
Guests watch their portraits being drawn

Each portrait takes about 1.5 to 2.5 minutes, depending on the style. Guests can come up whenever they like during your booked time. Our attendant helps each one take a photo, pick a style (realistic or caricature) and watch the robot draw.

3
They take their drawing home

Each portrait is drawn in pen on a 6 × 4 inch Robo Portraits card and handed to the guest. It’s a drawing, not a print. After your booked time, we pack down in about 20 minutes.

What guests experience

Watch it draw.
Take it home.

They watch the lines come together
The drawing process is live and visible. Kids watch every stroke and guess what it’ll look like before it’s done.
They compare with friends
Each portrait is different, so it’s fun to compare with the person next to you.

For parents

You host.
We run the drawing station.

Before the party, we’ll agree on the space, power, timing and number of portraits to plan for. On the day, our attendant runs the station.

Check your date
About 1.5 minutes for the simple style and about 2.5 minutes for the detailed style, including the photo. Watching the robot draw is part of the fun.
Yes. Our attendant guides each child: take a photo, pick a style and watch the robot draw. There’s nothing for them to figure out.
There’s no per-portrait fee: the limit is how many portraits can be drawn in your booked time. For planning, one robot draws about 45 portraits in 2 hours (more if most guests choose the simple style). Expecting more guests? Add a second robot or extra time. Tell us your guest count and we’ll recommend a setup.
We bring a 6-foot table. You’ll need room for it, space in front for guests to watch and room behind for our attendant, plus one standard outlet near the table (we bring a 6-plug extension cord). Outdoor parties work if you provide power and a tent or cover over the station.
Yes. We arrive at least 30 minutes before your start time to set up, run the station during your booked drawing time and need about 20 minutes to pack down. Setup and pack-down aren’t billed.
Yes. It’s great for all ages: toddlers love watching it, and adults get portraits too. Planning an adults-only celebration? That’s a custom quote.
It’s different: a photo booth prints a photo, while here guests watch a robot draw their portrait line by line, in pen, and take home a drawing.
