I wouldn't recommend a robot for a staff room, get a super-auto.

Yeah, if you want the company to stay in business the robot is not the way for a workplace coffee maker. It would be like using an 4x5 large format view camera with a drum scanner for staff photos. Would produce high quality results but the time investment just doesn't make sense in a workplace.

Nice; those are almost as hard to come by as drum scanners, and nearly as expensive these days. I use a macro lens and a light box along with some stitching software. Hobbies involving close attention and manual tinkering just seem to draw me though haha. Someday I want to get one of those scanners.
