#2This is fun, well done. Quite a performance to reach 2 hours on that little battery. Perhaps Euler disks are next?

#4I saw this and, while interesting and impressive, this isn't really a spinning top. It's a gyroscope. I was hoping for a real like "I cast metal into the perfect shape that I physically derived somehow to last as long as possible" or something similar not just "I put a motor in a case and it spins"

Never perfect a game something to its theoretical limits, It stops being exciting.

#7My mind immediately went towards Battlebots when I saw electronics getting involved. I wonder what else would need to be done to make this steerable over RC? There may be a lower weight class where some nicely CNC'ed 'Phantasm Orbs' can score reasonable points.

Thank you! This is what I really wanted!

#9There is a Japanese show that made a Scientist vs Engineers version to build the best Spinning Top: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q-hcidtjiM
Awesome!

#10These would make great pomodoro timers.
