Every package includes

What’s included.

2 hours of drawing time

A shorter booking is billed as 2 hours. We arrive at least 30 minutes early to set up and take about 20 minutes to pack down; neither is billed or counted in your drawing time.

On-site attendant

1 attendant with 1 or 2 robots, 2 with 3 robots. An extra attendant is available as an add-on.

The robots and a 6-foot table

You need room for the table, space in front for guests to watch and room behind for us. One standard outlet near the table is enough; we bring a 6-plug extension cord.

A pen-drawn portrait

For every guest drawn during the booked time: drawn live in pen on a Robo Portraits card (6 × 4 inch, 300 gsm). It’s a drawing, not a print. Custom cards with your design are available as an add-on. Styles: realistic or caricature, simple or detailed, plus full body, groups and pets.

A spare robot

We bring a spare robot to every event, and our own internet hotspot, so your venue doesn’t need to provide WiFi.

Capacity

How many portraits?

There’s no per-portrait fee and no set number of portraits. The limit is how many the robots can draw in your booked time. One robot draws about 20 to 40 portraits an hour, depending on the style guests choose.

1 robot, 2 hours
≈ 90
2 robots, 2 hours

3 robots, 2 hours

Planning figures at 22 portraits per robot per hour. Faster if most guests pick the simple style: about 1.5 minutes per portrait, versus about 2.5 minutes for the detailed style. Planning guide: how many robot portraits per hour.
