[Robotgroup] Idea for Eggbot...?

[Eric Lundquist]

I also like the idea of a Robot Group related give away.
The Robot Group logo is probably a little too complex to draw on an easter
egg.  Perhaps one of the more artistic folks could be persuaded to design a
simplified Robot Group line drawing suitable for Eggbot?   If it could also
draw www.robotgroup.net on the back, that would be really cool!
