IN my Robotics class we a attempting to remotly control a ball.  This ball 
will need to move in any direction or in only 4 directions: 
left,right,forward, and backwards. The first idea was to place a gyro 
inside the ball and manually rotate the gyro in the opposite direction we 
were attempting to go.  We are slowly concluding that this may not work.  
If you can supply any insight to our problem it would be gladly 
appriciated.
