My truck is still under-powered though and gets stuck if the head magnet and the ball magnet are too close. If they're too far apart then the head falls off too easily. But it does hold on better when I get it just right. I'd love to see yours if you have any video or photos somewhere.

I think you should stick with the rollers on the head but you should put two BIG magnets inside the ball and two BIG magnets on the bottom of the "head". Put the magnets close to the middle of the top of the ball and near the center of the cross you made. Use two magnets so you get a good north and south pole to keep the head pointing in the correct direction. (Or use a bar magnet on each side with the poles pointing front/back. Using a bigger magnet should give the head a lot of attraction to the body.

+RimstarOrg I just saw a video showing how the "Target Exclusive Hasbro BB-8" toy works. You might want to look at that one for inspiration. It seems to have only 2 wheels in the drive and a mast with the head and plastic bearings on the head. The 2 wheels are augmented by some "idler" bearings at the front and back. Having 2 wheels means that the drive system can rotate about the vertical axis inside the ball by driving the wheels in opposite directions. The head "points" to the "front' when the internals rotate, and so he can make 90 degree turns. It's a toy, but looks good.
@RimstarOrg9 жыл бұрын
+USWaterRockets Thanks. Yup, I've seen that one. It's also pretty much what I have in mind so far for version 2, two wheels and my rollers (or possibly bigger ones) at front and back, and then the mast for the head. Future enhancements for the mast would be to make it able to rotate, and later still, to tilt, for full head movement. I found some drill batteries at a community garage sale this weekend and already have drill motors so the next step is to see if I can adapt my remove control receiving hardware to that. I haven't looked yet so that may be a non-starter.

@RimstarOrg8 жыл бұрын
+Olivier Preziosa Thanks! I had the same idea, to use a metal bottom ball, a few days ago. Though I hadn't gone further with the idea and thought about using rolling magnets to control the head's movement. However, I did realize that you'd have to synchronize its movement somehow with the movement of the ball so that the head stays on top of the ball while the ball is rolling along. The head might also want to be sitting off center while the ball is rolling. I guess using an inertial measurement board would work. It may actually be the way the one that's used on the publicity tours is done since a recent interview said that the head is independent of the ball (www.popsci.com/qa-how-to-create-robot-icon).

What if stronger magnets and exstended the rods on wheels to be much smoother and head would stay on
@RimstarOrg8 жыл бұрын
+_Splash_ Stronger magnets would make the head stay on, or just raising the magnets inside. But that has the effect of gripping the structure that has the magnets on it inside the ball to the top of the ball. That strong grip is through the magnetic field, to the magnets under the head, and those magnets pressing hard against the outside of the ball. The truck has to be powerful enough and have good enough traction to overcome that grip. And my truck wasn't. That's why you see it getting stuck sometimes in the video. My version 2 BB-8 overcomes that with more powerful motors and a heavier "truck" for more traction. You can see that one here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHS7eWd3g5eUpck.
