Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone made their own Segway

I've been tempted to see if I could get a Picaxe driving a motor to balance a broom stick on its end. Dont know if the Picaxe could process fast enough, but it would be fun to try.

Another open source, open hardware Segway made this time by high school boys, using an PIC16F877 (the XBee part can be omited to lower the costs and complexity).

On their page you can find also a link to an interesting electric kart (The Cap Kart).
