This is a video of a Gear Ball from the 3D Printing Co. being assembled and toyed with. The 4″ balls, which are printed from plant-based plastics, cost $21 ($15 for a 2.5″ mini) and come in a variety of colors. I like the colors like the one in the

This is a video of Sony AI’s Project Ace ping-pong playing robot. Sure ping-pong is officially known as table tennis, but I feel like nobody who doesn’t own their own paddle calls it that. Admittedly, this robot looks like a pretty fierce competitor. The way it moves — way faster

This is a video of the Great Ball Contraption (GBC) of Japan Brickfest 2025, constructed using 49 different ball-moving LEGO modules from eight master LEGO builders. The machine spans a very respectable 31 meters (102 feet). Damn, that is a lot of ball moving! Me? When I’m uncomfortable at the

This is a video of incredibly skilled Japanese circus juggler Takehiro Nagaoka demonstrating his ball skills with some very stylized juggling. It’s pretty wild, and I particularly liked those long arm catches (far right in the pic above). I tried learning how to juggle when I was younger but quickly

This is a video of E.A.R.L., an industrial bowling robot developed by the United States Bowling Congress (and what a Congress it is!) to test bowling balls. E.A.R.L. has managed to bowl perfect games, but has yet to bowl 3 perfect games in a row. There’s always room for improvement
