If only Malcolm in the Middle had known what the Dutch could do...
I wonder if it could be split into two pully belts driving separate sets of feet, with some kind of sprung friction on each that would be fully engaged with the hamster in the middle of the ball, but so that one of the belts slips when the hamster is to the side, possibly allowing it to steer, I hope.
I'm reminded of this guy...
That cat is surprisingly unfazed. Although, if that's the Crabfu I'm thinking of, it's probably been chased by steam powered, radio controlled tanks.
