so a la the dung beetle, the top part is propelling the bottom soccer ball part? assuming that's even possible (since the top part does not appear to have any appendages or attachments to move the soccer ball part with) what would be the point of that?
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 23:14 (nine years ago) link
I'm assuming that there's a vertical disk that is kept static that the head sits on top of, and it spins the half-balls each side?

i'll be honest, the soccerball droid gave me a fleeting moment of ~the phear~
aaaahh more cutesy bullshit droids nooo

I don't mean to say that I'm right of course, just "If I had to build something like that, and I knew anything about building robots"

The entire series starts with cutesy bullshit droids, they're kind of its thing.

yeah Andrew I can't see how it would work without an axle connecting the upper and lower halves

I don't think the ball is part of the droid fwiw

occurred to me it could be a lil droid on top of a ball, sure
― valleys of your mind (mh), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 23:35 (nine years ago) link
MacGyver never needed no gyroscope
― Evan, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 23:36 (nine years ago) link
that's what I was thinking, but then how does the droid stay on top like that. I mean it looks like its using it as a method of propulsion, but if it can just float on top of the ball and direct its motion well why have a ball at all

of all the things posted on this thread, people not understanding how something could have a rolling base and relatively stationary top in a robot form made me the most exasperated

It's basically a hipster unicyclist droid.

Especially in a series full of hovering droids and vehicles which do not appear to be Force-controlled xp

haha yes, there is faster than light travel, vehicles and robots that hover around, but one plausible yet impractical balance-on-a-ball thing that looks funny, dunno, man
― valleys of your mind (mh), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 01:01 (nine years ago) link
Maybe it's a pinata droid and the base is full of delicious space candy.

Anyone watched this Ralph McQuarrie doc? It looks pretty good.
