Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a toy. The toy includes a body, a rotating shaft, wheels, and an asymmetric counterweight. The rotating shaft extends through the body of the toy and the wheels are connected at either end of the rotating shaft. The asymmetric counterweight is located at the base of the body and causes the body to rest at an angle. When a player applies a force to the toy, the force causes the wheels of the toy to move while the counterweight helps to facilitate movement of the toy along a surface. In this regard, the toy provides amusement and entertainment to the player while also developing agility and strength.
