The Ostrich EggBot kit
is the big brother of the Original EggBot kit. These kits are the product of
many years of evolution, dating back to the first EggBot, developed by motion control artist Bruce
Shapiro in 1990. The present kit was developed by Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories in cooperation
with Bruce Shapiro, Ben Trombley, and Brian Schmalz.
This kit is designed to allow you to draw on spherical & egg-shaped objects from about
4.25-6.25” (6-16 cm) in diameter. Internet access, simple tools, and a recent-generation
computer (Mac/Win/Linux) with a USB port are required.
This assembly guide covers the procedures for putting together Ostrich EggBot Kit v2.0. Typical
assembly time is estimated to be 1-2 hours. Please exercise appropriate care when building it: The
kit contains many small parts and some parts that could be sharp. Keep out of reach of small
children. Older children and teens may require adult assistance.
