Rolling Disks
thingiverse
The precision-engineered disks feature intricately slotted grooves, ensuring that the center of mass remains steadfast at a consistent height as they rotate. This ingenious design allows the disks to continue rolling unabated until friction and air resistance ultimately bring them to a halt. Initially, an attempt was made to craft these disks from CDs and a bandsaw, yielding mixed results.
