BlueMoon - NXT in a ball

This NXT robot moves by spinning a ball around itself. It steers by shifting weight from one side to the other. I thought it might make a good prototype for a robot that explores another planet. Dust would be kept out of the motors, etc.

funny how they use the computer which is the most important part of this kit as the weight to control the steering.

Hamster- balls aren't good for the animals because they are very stresst when they are in that ball, and then they have a bad life.
