About this 3D model

Sphero is a toy that is much more fun than it should be. www.gosphero.com When toying around with Sphero 2.0, it occurred to me that the ramps are a little underpowered. I wonder if they are designed for the 1.0 to use as well. I wanted to try a larger jump, with a counter on the backend to prevent the ramp from sliding or flipping. Taping down is still the best way to keep them in place, but here goes nothin' This file is proportional to fit a Replicator 2 build plate. I haven't tested it with the original Sphero, but the Sphero 2.0 is 2x faster, and therefore is able to easy launch fast enough to catch some air. We maxed out around 7 inches (~18 cm), on a carpet without the Nubby cover. Special thanks to John Miller for driving during this shoot. Science!
