I saw this and thought this would be very adaptable to the bot. You could design vinyl wall art for people to apply to the walls or use as stencils to apply to the wall for painting designs:

Funny you mention this, I was just asked yesterday if I could cut large vinyl emblems. I've looked at the cutter thread... has anyone tried out the cutter yet? How well does it work? how smooth does the spoilboard have to be? Does MDF (Trupan) make a firm enough surface to cut on? Do need to cut on a sheet of hardboard instead? etc...

Harry,
Contact Russ and ask him if he might have any example pics of his knife in action. I would like to see something like that too. It looks like the vinyl cutter and plotter pen both would be good additions but "a picture is worth a thosand words". Maybe even a youtube video of cutting some vinyl successfully would be a great sales tool.
