Hi Cameron,

Interesting the egg was hollow (as opposed to it's listing). Still, a 
good price I think for the egg. As mentioned, it will probably be 
easier to spin up then a solid egg and may actually aid the success 
of your project. It looks like a lot of fun!  Can't wait to here more.

Take care,
Bart
