Pokeball Sphero

About

Attempted to make a Sphero-style spherical robot in 3 days, to complement a Pokemon cosplay. Exclusively used parts that I had lying around already (except for the plastic ball, purchased at a craft store). It uses a bluetooth module and is controlled by an app. It is not very well balanced, and therefore doesn’t drive very well, but succeeds in looking like a trapped pokemon in a pokeball, like in the games.
