Sphero WaterBall Housing Accessory - #Make5000

thingiverse

This Sphero WaterBall Housing Accessory is my submission to the Sphero #Make5000 competition. It allows the Sphero to move through the water more quickly and easily. It should be sold with the Sphero Nubby. The Sphero would go inside the Nubby, which would then be placed inside the WaterBall Housing. The Nubby would create friction so that the Sphero wouldn't spin freely inside the housing. Or, the design could be downsized and made of a rubber-like material so that the Sphero could be placed straight into the housing without the Nubby, and still wouldn't spin freely. Other features of the design: The housing can roll over almost all surfaces, and it would even provide better traction. If it was made with a rubber-like material, the housing would help prevent damage from jumps and falls by acting as a shock-absorber. Since the housing raises the Sphero off the ground, it would also be protected from things that would scratch or damage it.

It should fit snugly, but if it is too big you should be able to place the Sphero in a Nubby first, and then in the housing, and if it is too small, well, then you are probably going to have to print a slightly larger version. HAVE FUN!
