Image of the Day: A robotic machine that can toast marshmallows to perfection

Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories has created MarshMallowMatic, a magical CNC marshmallow toasting machine that functions under robotic control to whip up a toasty snack. Based on this group’s prior invention, the Ostrich EggBot with an EiBotBoard v2.0, this gadget draws on circular items and is fitted with a compressed oxy-fuel torch.  This flaming device emits a 1-inch flame that harnesses a temperature of 5,000ºC to toast marshmallows. The oxy-fuel torch can also be used to weld, braze and solder minor operations. It can be tweaked for use with natural gas, hydrogen, propylene, or acetylene.

This video shows the overall mechanical setup of an Ostrich Eggbot machine. Instead of putting an egg in the middle, a marshmallow is placed and the flaming device is implemented. 

This machine is compatible with both regular and oversized marshmallows. The device includes an oxygen cylinder that you must fill yourself, or supplement this with MAPP gas cylinders instead. This marshmallow-making kit comes with a universal plug-in power supply, oxygen cylinder, starter marshmallow sample set, USB cable, flint-type spark lighter, preset propane/MAPP regulator, oxygen regulator, 8 ft. covered hoses, reverse check valves, and a torch tip with customized sapphire orifice. The fuel cylinder needs to be added separately.

Once you’ve obtained the MarshMallowMatic, you can download the assembly package on your computer, download applicable software, and fully assemble the device with a screwdriver. To always stay safe while toasting your marshmallows, make sure to always wear safety goggles.
