Roboball,simply put, is a remote control ball with a self driving feature, invisibility technology, and a small storage compartment. On the outside, it is a sphere covered in a material that bends the light around it in a way that makes it appear invisible (in our precedents). Internally however, there are complex mechanisms that make the ball move and help keep the storage unit ad other gears stay upright while the sphere rotates. It's purpose is to help transport small materials such as papers and small substances without being seen, mostly when it comes to confidential information being transported from one place to another. Our model is one that travels on flat, dry terrain. It is powered by flexible solar panels that slide out of the walls of the sphere. Roboball's purpose is to create a safer way to communicate/interact with people; a way that ensures privacy. Any digitally written messages or files can be accessed in some way, and there are many risks of theft when it comes to transporting medicinal substances. With roboball's invisibility technology, which is already in use in some military operations (according to the website we found our precedent in), these risks are significantly reduced.
Roboball would initially be used by people involved in secretive operations and in the future, probably in the military to provide medicine on-field. There would obviously have to be many reinforcing adjustments made to roboball in order for the military use to be practical but the speed and invisibility would be helpful. Our model would most likely would not become a part of everyday life because public areas are too crowded so the invisibility feature would become more of a safety hazard than a safety measure. However, adding a drone-like feature to it would make it possible to use in everyday life as there is minimal risk of running into anything with so much height. The spherical shape could also be altered to something else if it were to run in air.
