Hi Kai-Martin,

Nifty board on which the toporouter stuff looks good ;-)

If I ever buy a Arduino clone this is the one !


The earlier egg-bot stuff further on the left as in:

Makes me imagine to use a pen with conductive ink and draw traces on an 
oval sphere.

After drying one could maybe solder or glue SMD parts on it to create a 
blinking egg !

pcb should have a sphere-mode !

Hmm, maybe too much asked, a mobius-mode first then ;-)

LOL
