BallBot

Idea

The goal is to modify a three wheel robot toy to balance on top of a ball or turn into three unicycle robots that can move sideways.

The secret is a wheel that has spinning parts on the outside room. There are two main types:

Omni Wheel
Mecanum Wheel

The motion the robot can make is described as "holonomic". The wheels can be purchased for carpet or slick floors at Acroname Robotics

Subsystems

Gyros and Accelerometers
Arduino
Wheels
Frame Modification
