This is probably the best UK site for the Craft Robo and also, if you're into crafts.
This link is the section about the Robo
http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/for ... .php?f=200
With over 15,000 threads & 140,000 posts on the Robo alone, I'm sure you'll find what you want

You`d have to arch the text in photoshop and then impoert it into robo craft software and the use auto trace icon

I would say its a lot easier in Coreldraw but not sure if there's a plugin for the Robbo - you could always export as an eps

Well that's strange because in under 30 seconds I found:
Design Master 2
Studio
Inkscape
Silhouette
RoboMaster
and more
