Knex Construction: Spring Powered Hamster Ball

As my first construction post, I figured I would start with something lighthearted.  This is a simple toy I built while working on a more automated version out of a real hamster ball.  I tend to try the kinematics of things on Knex before I invest the time and money of building the real one.  This one will roll across the floor if given a push for momentum, but has plenty of room for improvement.
