Final Project

For my Fab Academy Final Project, I will partially re-create the remote controlled "hampster ball" known as Sphero(at least the movement abilities of it). I was inspired to make this because one of the reasons I went into engineering was because I was always loved to play with this toy as a kid and always wondered, how does that work?

Sphero Inspiration:

This is a rough sketch of my RC Hampster Ball. The outer casing will be made out of a semi-transparent glass that can open up for replacing batteries and inspecting the inner parts. Also there will be a motor that will be to the shape of the inner case, allowing the ball to move. sketch view top down view
