This is how the thing is built

There is a motor at a shaft in the center that turns the ball. Each end of the motor has a servo arm. One arm goes to a weight at the bottom. The arm moves the weight to choose direction. The other arm positions the head. The head and arm are not directly connected. At the end of that arm is magnets. The head has metal base and ball bearings on the bottom.
Great. Where's yours? I'll settle for a hemisphere with a magnet and a stick.
I just googled "what's inside sphero"
That diagram doesn't look like a Segway inside a rubber ball.

I imagine IP's theory could fit in there with some crisco and a dream.
One person putting it together is filed under "Laughable Claims", but we have determined that it is, in fact, a possible physical object.
Whats wrong with you? Why do you keep asking where mine is?Quote:

This is the robotics equivalent of being on the game forum, defending a shitty game with "well if you know so much, where are all the video games you've made"
What even the fuck
Someone update me. Are we talking about the new star wars robot not being magic or are the two of you discussing why a member of the forum does or does not own a robot toy ball company?Quote:

I thought we were talking about how you could absolutely definitely make a ball robot.
That is to say, where's yours?
Well now I'm really concerned that the merits of the new Star Wars movie will be decided by whether or not IP can build a robot bally in his garage. Fuck.
