how it couldn't be done with MindStorms.

I've got just one word.....COOL!!!!

This might be a fun little competition. Maybe a recursive fractal
program generating a Sierpinski (sp?) carpet pattern on
the egg?

Or a random "drunkard's Path" simulating Brownian motion?

Or a more conventional simple spiral pattern?

How about a colouring (this spelling is correct in the civilized world)
contest for Mindstorms robots? No prizes, just fun!!!

Cheers,
