Re: sphere bot
i was kinda thinking maybe a folding the shpere in eight peices. cutting it into 4 from each "side" of the box. then kinda swinging it in.. if there was a good strong light easy reliable way to do this with say,,, sheet metal, and cover the outside with some treads as to fit in the rules, maybe, but then again that just might not be strong enough. well a honeycomb structure sandwiched between two sheetmetal shperes. tediously welded together or sumthing.. mebe. but theres the lexan and heatgun idea again too. and for propolsion. probably try to have a thing inside the sphere that is independant of the shpere and rolls inside an easy omnishperical robot can be like

comprehende?
my idea is, you need easy access inside the sphere obviously, so why not just have it expand out from an open to a closed more stable structure.
