This Lego robot can balance on a ball

One might think the robot is best thing of this video. Wrong! The PyBricks graphic blocks programming language is THE best thing in this video and the best thing ever happened to LEGO MINDSTORMS/SPIKE since its release!!! Can't wait to try it out!

One of the most underrated videos I've ever seen.

This seems so much more approachable than back in the day when we did it with NXT!

Fantastic! I built it by your instruction, uploaded the program but when I run the program on Mindstorms hub the both motor start running constantly and it is not possible to balance it. Where can my mistake be? Thanks in advance! :)

Check the way the hub is mounted on the hub :) If it's upside down or flipped around, the gyro won't know which way to measure. Same for the motor cables. Check those too. Also be sure to leave it on the table for 5 seconds or so after you turn it on, This lets the gyro calibrate itself.

Also, the robot needs to be balanced on the ball by hand as accurately as possible when you start the program. You can't start the program, then put the robot on the ball. Also, this will work better on a smooth floor than a carpet.
