EggBot Deluxe

The EggBot is a friendly art robot that can draw on spherical or egg-shaped objects from the size of a ping pong ball to that of a small Grapefruit – roughly 1.25 to 4.25 inches in diameter (3 - 10 cm).

You can use EggBot on all kinds of spherical objects. Use it to create the most impressive Easter eggs, personalize Christmas ornaments or even golf balls or light bulbs. The EggBot is not just a cool gadget; it’s also a great introduction to CNC (computer numerical control) and do-it-yourself robotics. All of the electronics and software are designed to be hackable and repurposable, so you could easily computer control an Etch-a-Sketch or create something totally new.

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.

The EggBot kit in the Elektor online store is the most popular of all; the Deluxe Version! The EggBot kits are recommended for ages 10 and up, although for kids under 13 adult supervision is recommended.

Universal power supply included! (with US-EU adapter).
