Britt tries out fabric printing with the Sweeper Bot’s bodysuit! The pattern and details are sketched onto a zentai suit, then cut apart and transferred to Photoshop. The design is digitally drawn and refined, then printed through Spoonflower. After sewing the printed fabric together into a new undersuit, velcro and snap attachments keep all the foam armor pieces in place.
