One of the most fun features of Decabot platform is the numerous possibilities of personalization of your robots. Here you can have some ideas, but fell free to invent and create new ones!

EVA Mask

The EVA mask is a laser cut mask who holds the frontal piece of the Decabot. It is fixed by some holes in his tips and some hooks in the back part of your Decabot.

You can begin your personalization by choosing colors or cutting new shapes, by hand or scissors. There are different EVAs to be used, wuth color patterns, different textures, or even with glitter! Maybe try new materials?! You can find the basic EVA mask shape in the Download section: EVA mask shape.

Paintjob

The MDF material of your Decabot can be painted to achieve even more personalisation! Just use it as a wood surface:

• You must paint your Decabot assembled. If you try to paint before assembling, the pieces will not fit properlly.
• To seal the surface, roll or paint a coat of primer over the entire piece. You can also use spray primer. Priming hides imperfections and provides a surface for the paint to adhere to. Let dry for at least an hour.
• Now you can experiment different type of paint and techniques.

Fell free to explore the possibilities of adapt your robot, including paper machê, cardboard or other materials!

Creating unique Decabots

Decabot platform was created to be explored especially in the personalisation. The idea is to use the basic chassis to easily assemble your components (Arduino, motors, batteries…) and create new forms of exterior formats, using new materials, like MDF, cardboard, acrylic, paper machê, paper, wood, LEGO, or 3D print.
