I picked up a Hexbug Nano V2 toy http://www.hexbug.com/v2 the other day. It moves by vibrating the body and the flexible legs only let it move forward. The motion is pretty random, kind of like a big bug. It needed something extra so I made a small truncated icosahedron in Cheetah3D and printed a bunch. These "eggs" provide some obstacles for it as it moves around it's environment. Here's a short video of them in action: https://vimeo.com/77012228
Have fun!
UPDATE: The "eggs" seem to jam less often if they are scaled to 95% before printing.
