Stars, circles, dotted lines, logos, textures, completely strange ideas — put them here. If you can describe the shape or how it should behave while moving the can, that is even better.
What pattern or attachment should exist next?

A clean circle/square pair makes a lot of sense, especially for pixel-like work. The useful part is not only the shape but how consistently it repeats when the can is moving.
Me on Microsoft paint playing with the stamps and spray can brush
please make a heart shape too! 🥹💕🙌🏽✨

Heart is a good candidate ❤️ Simple silhouette, instantly readable, and it would be interesting to test how small it can stay before the shape starts closing up.
The multi lines look bad tho 🤷

Fair criticism. Multi-line patterns are very sensitive to pressure, distance, tip geometry and hand speed, so a pattern that looks clean in one setup can look rough in another.
What happens if you hold the cap down longer or drag it while it’s spraying ? Anything cool?

Dragging while RoboCap is pulsing usually turns a dot/shape into a repeated trail or stretched mark. Pulse strength, interval and hand speed all change the result, so this is exactly the kind of experiment worth posting here.

Yes — dotwork was one of the main reasons I built RoboCap. Controlled micro-pulses are much more interesting to me than simply making a normal cap electronic.
Imagine doing glow in the dark paint stars like this

Glow-in-the-dark stars would be a fun test. RoboCap only controls the dosing/pulses; unusual paint formulations can behave differently, so I would treat it as an experiment and clean the internal paint path thoroughly afterwards.
Can you do round? 👀

Round/dot patterns are absolutely part of the idea. A “simple” circle is also a good benchmark because any asymmetry in the setup becomes very obvious.
i had the same idea except i wasnt gonna do anything about it so im glad u did

@jashlalii you know i think you should try it now because the number of attachments is unlimited and patterns surround us everywhere inspiration can be found even on parquet or in the form of a chandelier plus i inspired and if someone continues it will be great
Subaru logo attachment

Subaru logo is ambitious 😄 Logos are interesting, but very small internal details are where spray physics starts fighting the drawing. Simple bold silhouettes are much easier to keep readable.
Need to see if you sweep and pull away if it makes like a shooting star

Yes, sweeping while it pulses is worth trying. Instead of a single star you get a trail whose spacing and stretch depend on pulse interval and hand speed.
@skub_monkey might just look more like a long cube depending on the angle
@skub_monkey It it works like the flower cap on his other vids it'll make a dotted line not a continuous one

That is what I would expect too: with pulse mode, movement creates separated marks. Their spacing changes with the interval setting and how quickly you move the can.
