Poor man's Segway
Many people have been tracking my experence with my Segway here. A friend found this post: Building a Balancing Scooter It is basically a home-made Segway. It is self-balancing and has electric motors. It runs on a standard controller, tractor wheels, and some wheelchair parts. A couple of the parts were made for the battlebots hobbiest. I love finding tinkerers who do stuff like this. There is no market for this home-made one because it doesn't have even rudimentary safety features (like redundancy) that a commercial product needs, but it sure looks like fun! I bet one of the really cool things you could do with it is make it go as fast as you wanted! Something I am still trying to figure out with my Segway...
