FRC Themed Jack-o'-lanterns.

[wajirock]

I decided to make some FRC themed jack-o'-lanterns using my computer. I used Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to make the STEAMWorks and 4607 ones, and I used a website I found to make the 254, 2056, and 2052 ones. I hope you guys like them.

These look awesome, but I would not like the job of carving that FIRST Steamworks pumpkin...

I thought about carving it in real life, but then I reconsidered the difficulty of it...

My thoughts exactly. Only I didn't have a CNC machine, so I had to carve the old fashioned way with the exception of tracing patterns with a Dremel.

These FIRST pumpkins are awesome! I noticed the "4" in the 254 logo seems to be traced so as to be cut out completely; is that a mistake by the application, or is it just engraved deeply enough to let the light through?

They are photo-shopped.

Yes, but the 254 logo in the picture would not be possible in real life because the "4" would be cut out. I guess it was a mistake by the software, since the computer isn't aware of that.

It's an online application which just changes the colour of an image then pastes it over a picture of a pumpkin lol no smarts included.

I don't really know much about pumpkin carving or the application itself, but I think you're correct. Some of the other ones I made also had impossible designs.

A student on my old team(1318) decided to carve our logo into a pumpkin this year.

One of our alumni carved our team logo into a pumpkin a few years ago! https://www.instagram.com/p/u0Y55NHOx3/

This was done on our laser cutter:
