Robot Ball

The ball was a radio controled ball by "GO BALL" sold by Sharper Image. The radio controller was removed and replaced with socket breadboard and circuits.

The ball will follow the light of a flashlight, which is shown in this one minute video.

The music is "Crystal Trees" by Sanctis Angelicus...

Hi there! Great robot concept. I tried to find somewhat more information on this robot on the internet but could not find anything. Do you have a link/url, product name, manufacturer name, year for me of this ball robot? Thanx - Albert

Contact The Sharper Image by phone. I bought the radio controlled ball in the mid '80s. It was called the Go Ball, and was manufactured in Japan, for an American company I belive.

thats pretty shit hey poor editing and the music didn't even relate to the subject or had no meaning 1star and controller is spelt with a double L

Sorry you got nothing out from the video. I did not have a video camera or editor to work with. The pictures were taken with a miniature camera which can take 26 frame clips.

I like the music, don't you think that it is a little erie? Isn't there something mysterious about robots?

The quality isn't so good, but robot looks interesting.
