Beach Ball Droid ideas

[lynellephi]

A friend suggested that it may be two half spheres spinning so fast that it looks like a ball with a rod through the middle for the dome attachment. All I know is Mark Hamill had fun playing with the actual droid (boy, I wish I knew who built it so we can ask questions). Anyway, it's not CG, it's real. We've got work to do, don't we?
