Sept 9, 2010: Egg Bot
 
Three guys have put together this Egg-Bot kit, which decorates damn near anything, spherical or ovoid and smaller than a grapefruit, with a sharp marker. You can have the bestest Christmas balls, or Easter eggs, in town.;)

The Eggbot software allows you to control the 'bot from within Inkscape-- a superb freeware illustration program -- on Mac, Windows, or Linux computers. You can draw an image directly, trace a photograph, or import designs from other programs. You can also control the Eggbot directly from many other programs that have the ability to send serial commands over a USB port.
Sounds like fun. :D

In my day all you got to color eggs was a box of crayons

Is this where we find out Sharpies are poisonous? :D

I think the bestest Christmas balls are Schweddy's delicious balls!

Looks pretty neat, but for $200 - dayum.

I wouldn't shell out that much.

That's dirt cheap for what's involved to do that.

Hmmm... I wonder...




:D

I know xob - you sold me the damn thing with your cute pics and description... then I saw the price and realized it was WAY out of my budget.

Cheaper than going to a tattoo parlor to get your balls inked.

If you like that sort of thing, you might like this as well. An inexpensive (comparatively) 3d printer.

That won't cover what you have, and it plain, no designs, which it the point.

I'm constantly amazed at the enormous amount of ingenuity and effort people put into useless shit. Why can't this inventiveness and energy be channeled into stopping global warming or something?

Because nobody is going to buy a global warming solution unless Ron Popiel sells it.
