so the problems with existing cylinders wheeled cylinders is they're very hard to maneuver very clumsy very awkward get always getting caught so that was our brief we were looking to improve the maneuverability of a cylinder product so ball is very very maneuverable it will go wherever it wants to go so the challenge from our perspective is how we can control it so we had to spend a lot of time engineering in some stability and there's some key features looking at the front cuff making sure that the ball is always pushed to the floor and we have wheels at the size which help it steer hoping to go in the direction you want it to go rather than just moving around randomly and we had lots of prototypes we created in order to make sure the center of gravity was low so as it goes around corners it doesn't topple we had to fit all of the components inside the ball so that's analogous to try to fit all of the organs inside the head in the human body as you can see there's over 100 components inside this ball and it required us to be really really space conscious in order to fit them all in testing is vital to developing new machines we would probably have carried out over a thousand tests on the maneuverability elements and once we had a design which was working really really well we tested it seven days a week 24 hours a day a thousands of hours in order to prove it was robust we've really addressed the maneuverability problems with cylinders making a cylinder that steers very well it follows you around so it doesn't get caught we've really looked to improve the acoustics but most importantly it doesn't lose suction that uses our latest cyclone technology
