The only way a system with teeth would work would be if we’re only rotating in one direction. If we want to move in 3 directions the only solution for a sphere is with mecanum or omni wheels. We can use a belt attached to the two axis to turn the sphere, but this means we lose the rotation.

Have groves in the sphere and have the gear guide on thous and you’d have a controlled movement have like an electric bicycle setup.
