i'm like 90% sure we're looking at accelerometers, pid loops, steppers? assuming the head is much heavier than the body and it drives the ball via rollers in the bottom of the head.

weighted bottom, light head imo
should make the prop a bit more stable, but it's still a good job keeping the head on

is the head kept in place via magnets? Inductive power transfer to actuators up there?

i'm assuming the head is driving around on the ball with an independent battery, but is much lighter than the engine inside the bottom ball.
it just seems like the most expressive setup
