Drawing path robots on video

hi, I would like to mark the path of each robot on the video in such a way that the effect is to draw the way through each robot. Can you help me to convert this video?
In Vegas Pro, I can only move the square according to the way of the robot, but I can not cause the route to grow with each video frame.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oJS5unIFAFXsOFyUPpNAlQHpb-7IFolE/view?usp=sharing

The line that follows the robots should be the width of the robot. All lines have to show the area covered by robots.

Easiest way to do this... export one frame from vegas (click the disk icon by the preview window). open it in a photo editor like photoshop (or gimp if you can't afford PS). In a separate layer, draw your lines. Delete or hide the image layer that contains the image you exported from Vegas, only leaving the lines.

Now you have an image that is just the paths the robots are going to follow. Now you will hide the paths with separate masks (if you have to, make multiple copies of the image on different tracks and mask each path independently that way). This tut will walk you through how to use masks in VP.

Alternately: Use media generators: solid color, make it the color you want, put it on its own track, then mask out that track to be everything but the path you want.
