Robot Vinyls or Stickers?

[Chris_Elston]

Where do you guys get your decals for your robot? Team Number and sponsor stickers?

Last year we went to a local sign company that does vinyl decals. We had them do them so that they could be stuck on the inside of the lexan covering.

We got our team number and logo laser cut in to our side panels.

Our sponsor's have a multimedia guy who prints all of are signs, stickers, logos, and ID cards for us. He also takes many our pictures at competitions.

I worked at a sign shop two summers ago. I go to them every year with the logos and designs, they cut it out (of vinyl), and I install it on the robot.

we simply use sticker paper you buy at office depot, just print them and cut them out and peel the backing and stick it to a side of the bot. it's pretty fast and easy.

We had window decals (or something like that) printed on an inkjet that we used on part of the robot. The other part was electrical tape.

lol, it helped that it was my dad's shop, lol. also they donate the vinyl to us. I do the work on prepping it and installing it, so all they donate is the cost of the raw vinyl before it is cut.

We used velcro and poster paper mounted on foam core.
Worked fine.

In past years we've usually gone with:
-laminating big posters of our logos and taping them on
-using a student's uncle to print big stickers to go on some large surface area
-having students hand draw and color some awesome looking designs on posters and then laminating it.

My team usually just uses the decals our sponsors give us, or we have a machinists that is our sponsor and he engraves all of our sponsors on our robot. He also mills out our numbers for us.

White contact paper, an X-acto knife, and a steady hand.

One of our Sponsors, Gerber Scietific, makes the those really neat decal printers/cutters and they print out those great translucent graphics we have every year.
