How Much mass are you looking to carry?
I just set a 1 lb weight in the middle and this had little effect on it's
motion.
The model does not have perfect motion anyway as the wheels are almost but
not quite spherical and tend to deform under load. This causes it to be just
a little jerky.
But then it is just a model and well worth buiding for that purpose.
It's really neat to watch in operation. I've had this one running in
triangles, squares, and spirals just for fun. :-)
I'll put up some video sometime soon.
