That is sweet! You'd need some pretty serious control loops to accomplish that.

Yeah, I definately won't try it even though it impresses me the most.
Do the links work for you? They don't seem to work for me.

Nah, they didn't work for me either. That's a good picture though.

When I read the title I thought of a bot that is ball shaped and rolls around.

Once again Troy, wow. That was pretty cool. Never saw that. Wasn't someone here working on a sphere shaped robot?

Troy's been keeping up on his modern bots. I've been trying to come up with something unique to work on. I was thinking about something like that as something unique, kind of like a hamster in a ball. I still don't know how you mechanically propel and steer something like that without the hamster :). Guess it's not such a unique idea after all though. Wish there was something that could conquer stairs too. Have you seen anything like that? Any ideas out there?
