BB8 Sphero Project

After a long break, I finally sat down and taught myself how to use a 3D printing software. I used Tinkercad to make 3 possible cases for the robot. One of them is a simpler one which I’m probably going to use first. I made the other two cases able to screw together, though I’m not sure I made them properly. Hopefully these work out and I’m able to get on with the next step of my building process.

I’m currently making a sphere robot that is basically a BB8 droid and have just finished the prototype. I got the parts for the inner motors from a robot making kit I got a while back. For the head, I made my own ball bearings so that it rolls smoothly over the outer shell of the ball. It is attached by magnets to the inner workings that stay up right the entire time. My next step is learning how to use a 3d printing software and making everything run more smoothly.
