Picture Help Needed

We run a Lego Robot League for my son and school mates and I need a picture of a Lego Mindstorm Robot converted into a blueprint style picture to put on our teams t-shirts. Is there anyone willing to do help do this or a way to do it with photoshop or some other software?
 
Yep, I will upload it now. I would like the pan taken off if possible as well. I just have no Photoshop skills at all.

What kind of time frame are you looking at?

I have very little in the way of photoshop skills but I like taking on challenges, and have all the time in the world right now, and I'm good at playing around. Lots of tutorials on the net for this kind of thing. Course now that you've posted it I'm sure someone will post a perfect example in a few hours 😛
 
I waited sorta last minute because I didnt think it would be too hard to get it converted to a blue print style picture. I didnt think about it needing to be a 3D render into wireframe to achieve that type of output.

What does last min mean here? And what quality DO you need?
 
They have an event in December and I would think it will take a week or so to get the shirts made. So it just needs to be high enough quality to come out good enough to be silkscreened on a t shirt. This is what I get for volunteering through school, it went from helping with the Lego robotics to getting the T shirts done lol.
 
Well I don't know what kind of resolution you need to get good silk screen results but I would imagine you would need much higher resolution than this. What you really need to know is the DPI res you are looking at for silk screen work, I have no idea of this. Anyway a very quick example of the kind of quality you would get from photoshop work:

The best results would come from modelling it in 3D of course. But that's hard to do without a good front, side and angle view.
 
You Rock I would think those will work good enough we are talking about 6 Graders here. I would love to have the time to learn Photoshop just never have had the change. Another Quick questions can you crop the pan out and put in Beyond Basic Builders in Blueprint style around it somehow? That would be the only other change I would need. Many thanks in advanced.

You mean you want the words "Beyond Basic Builders" in a ring or circle where the body of the pot is? What about the handle? You want to keep the handle of the pot and make it look like he's holding up the sign "Beyond Basic Builders" ?
 
Is this for the First Lego League?
I was a part of that for a number of years when I was younger. It was always a blast. I haven't played with the new Mindstorm NXT yet, just the old RCX variety.
