Rolling Orbital Bluetooth Operated Thing

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 13 of July , 2009 at 4:29 am

I have no idea whether Nils V├╢lker, the designer of this LEGO NXT based orb robot, has ever heard of OrbSwarm. Or, for that matter, if he’s heard of the Rotundus Groundbot. Either way, Nils has built himself a robot that operates on the same simple principle of steerable mass:

The robot isn’t autonomous yet, but the plan is to give it a mind of its own. And Nils is the first to admit that the robot might not have a specific purpose, but it’s a lot of fun to play with… We hear ya, we love that kind of thing.
