Here In germany (especially here in munich) the football delirium overlabs at the moment because of the WM 2006. Unfortunatly I couldīnt resist to think about this theme and so this picture happen. Here is the idea:
Itīs a concept for a Remote Controlable Ball. It works with 3 "dynamic unbalance" modules (red). Every single module is driven by a single electro engine. These are speed controlable. (yellow cable) The core of this hole system is the "gyro stabilizer" sensor. (the transclucent cylinder in the middle) With the help of a metal sphere in the middle of this element and a lot of sensors on the outside (the black dots) this module can realize within split seconds how the ball is positioned at the moment. With this information, the electronic is able to control the influence of every single unbalance unit of the ball, so that it can be controlled by the remote control. This could be really really interesting games I think...

One kick, Sensitive processor and even more sensitive radio reciever, Crack! Lol nice idea and picture though, Maybe if you put the weight things and all the other moving parts in like a steal casing and the processor too. Fill the ball with rubber for protection(add little pockets of air to make the ball soft or bouncy). The antenna for remote control can be a web of soft memory metal in the gaps of the balls exterior so you get a good connection. Would be a bitch to change the AA batteries inside though D:... Just an idea.
