Spherical NXT Robot
July 10th, 2009

Spherical Robot 01 from Nils Völker on Vimeo.

This is the robot equivalent of a hamster in a ball. Basically a ball-shaped robot based on a Lego Mindstorms NXT. It moves in any direction by rotating it’s internal mass horizontally and vertically. Right now it’s remote controlled via Bluetooth from a second NXT. But it may be autonomous later on.

The creator says that there’s no deeper meaning, just a lot of fun to drive.
