Cool. What's the shell made from?

I like it. For my high school senior project way back in 2008, I made a shell for my BOE-BOT:

Looks great, if a bit heavy. Adding weight and shifting the CG of a Boebot really changes the steering characteristics. That roller ball just drags sideways and fights turning. Activitybot's encoders could help somewhat to reduce that effect.

I had to use a real caster instead of the ball for Ken's FlameBoe. The heavily-loaded ball would barely turn at all.

Total weight is 63g for the prototype I should be able to reduce that to 42g
