Mouse Balls - Page 2

Eunuch mice are no fun.

I've been wanting to make a fun machine with these balls rolling down ramps, dropping in holes and triggering a motor that uses a magnet to bring them back up to the top, but I'm too busy(lazy) or unartistic to get it done.

I cut one open once and was surprised they were solid steel - I've found they've been usefull in those art projects sher you put the paint in the box and roll the balls around to make artful pictures. I didn't think anyone used those type anymore especially with most of america moving to laptops and cheap computers that require a name-brand tech to fix.
