I watched the video on Technovelogy.com just now. Cool stuff.It seems an oddly appropriate object for the Burning Man event. Cheap security, even without the spikes, lasers, and machine guns!

Perhaps a machine gun with a synchronizer gear could be used to give it more firepower, whilst protecting the mechanism inside the sphere.

ooooo retractable spikes

that’s a good one and easy to do

just throw some pneumatic cylinders on there

and if they’re strong enough it could even make the robot jump

mmmmm flying orbs of death.

there’s something just so cool about watching a herd of possibly harmful metal orbs move completely according to their own will.
