Besides wanting to express my excitement at seeing a Jeff rper (because that is worth quite a bit of excitement), I wanted to cast Eggman in to help out. He'd be pretty excited that a young mind is showing such initiative and do what he can as a somewhat renowned scientist to encourage that.

While Eggman likely won't be too hands-on, as a programmer, he'll step in whenever roadblocks pop up. Other than that, he'll be pretty proactive in helping collect data.
