I guess you would put the robot inside the ball, clear plastic would be best
so you could see the robot. I too have thought about the 'tease the cat' idea.
I would like to build a robot that would follow a cat around when the cat is
in the room but the cat would have to wear some sort of emitter. This might
also be a neat idea for a pet for a 'kid'. I would appreciate some ideas on
a good emitter scheme for this sort of thing.
