Any kind and size bearings.

Description
New design contest. All submissions need to use bearings in some way
to enable the printable side of the submission to do something cool/
neat/funny/novel.
So the last contest that required magnets didn't receive much
attention and was poorly timed (ended on a holiday weekend). I'm
supplying more time and money for this one so hopefully there will be
a bigger turn out. I would like to do more of these contests but will
probably lose interest if there are too few entries.
Instructions
Here are the rules:
1. Needs to be printable on a makerbot
2. Needs to use bearings in some way (They can be any size/style
bearings. Skate bearings as sold in the Makerbot store are easy to
come by since they can be bought at any sports supply store…. the
dimensions are 8mm ID, 22mm OD, and 7mm thickness)
3. Post submissions on thingiverse by 5pm cst Sunday, Oct 3
4. Post a comment to this thing with a link to your submission
5. Seriously anything that uses bearings in some way…..
The prize is $50 in the makerbot store. I will pick the winner but
will rely heavily on user feedback. Multiple submissions are allowed.
Extra points for submissions that use licenses which allow derivatives
or have no restrictions on use and for submissions that supply generic
prt or obj files along with the standard STL file.
