[Robotgroup] Idea for Eggbot...?

[Paul Atkinson]

Could cut the logo out of a spongy foam material and then ink stamp it similar to how they mark M&M's. I wonder if said weasel could cut that stuff?

I think there is a weasel that may be able to get a stamp made with the
logo. We could stamp the bottom part of the egg. But then again, since
the stamp wouldn't be flat it may be complicated.
