Project details available at http://jeroenwaning.blogspot.com
We are Jeroen Waning, Brian Kosoris, Bahati Gitego, and Yuriy Psarev,
...
and this is our BallBot senior design project using the Arduino MEGA 2560 here at Southern Polytechnic State University. Thus video was taken during our final presentation so please excuse the engineers wandering in and out of view and the students touching it, but it can be seen that she is fully self-sufficient and stable. There are no encoders on the BallBot so she was not able to return to her zero position and wanders aimlessly throughout the mechatronics lab. Instead of just with the Arduino, Ball-bots can also be made with Lego Mindstorms NXT. Check out http://www.nxtrobots.org
