Moball

Created on 27 Nov 2015

We aim to create a spherical robot cabable of maneuvering around the Mobot course

We plan to start out with a passive system that will use an actuated weight to alter its path down a hill. We hope to do this using a servo as a pendulum or on a rail/linear gear in a 3D printed shell. After this, we hope to implement a path-planning system to enable the robot to traverse a course.
