Roll a Robot — questions

How do I draw a random robot?

Roll the dice on this page. Each roll fills in one part of your robot — head shape, number of arms, legs or wheels, number of antennas, power source, body color, special gadget — and when you've rolled them all, you draw what you got. Start over any time for a brand-new robot.

What can I change about my robot?

You roll for 7 things in total at Deluxe difficulty: head shape, number of arms, legs or wheels, number of antennas, power source, body color, special gadget. Simple difficulty keeps it to 3 so younger artists aren't overwhelmed.

Is the robot generator free to use?

Yes — rolling a robot to draw is free, with no sign-up. It works in any browser, so it's handy for home, the classroom or on the go.
