With spheres you could rotate the ball in different directions without having to rotate the thing that holds the ball inplace. The ball wouldnt have to be a complete sphere.
Has anyone tried to do this successfully?

Team 45 prototyped such a design a few years ago. I'll see if I can find it.
[edit] Tom beat me to it.

GP makes us all on one and the same team. They understand that in order for any of us to succeed, we need to help out where we can. It is why you will see so many other teams helping a team with a failing robot, buggy software, team strategy, etc. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
