Absolutely, but now that there are a few choices for "normal" drive trains I may be going a bit further in my own direction rather than following the pack.
Awesome to hear ! I was hoping you would keep making some progress on it, I almost forgot about your drive system until I started prototyping something up and remembered I saved some pictures of your drive system on my computer ! I had to come back to see if you were still moving forward with design.
I have a bunch of robot projects planned. I think I may return back to the AXL-1 design that original got me interested in BB-8. It's more based on the concept artwork. Another BIG project is a motion controlled camera rig, which will be part robot, part 3D printer in nature!
Yea I am leaning towards a axial drive system like the one released at celebration and like what you have developed. A motion controlled camera robot 3D printer ! dang that sounds intense and a lot of programing behind it. Cant wait to see what you come up for that project. The AXL-1 is that a drive system completely different then the one you have been working on ?
This was only the most basic test without any active stabilization. The weight is located very low and there is a soft deceleration built in so that it is pretty stable by default. I'm sure the head will change all that!
Did you ever actually finish your BB8 build?
Any future plans for the drive system ?

Does it have the PID or functions to stabalize when it comes to rest etc? appears to
