it just wouldnt make sense with this years game...... basically all you would have to do it wait with your alliance for about 5 seconds until both the opponents have left thier robot zone and clock out and you win....... theres no game and no fun

Re: Pbasic!
 

Who would think Dean rational? I mean, he dosn't walk anymore! jk
Mybe the reason was to show you the potental of PBASIC...;)

I'm telling you it will happen

Where did you get this information from?

The main purpose of PBASIC and BASIC stamps is to be easy and quick to code. I would guess that the Segway needs much, much more processor power then a BASIC stamp can offer to balance well. The faster it reads from the gyros, the more smoothly the software can control the Segway's stability.

I'm guessing they used compiled C/C++ or assembler and a processor with a clock speed faster then 25 MHz. My $0.03

Texas Instruments (TI) has provided its digital signal processing technology to the Segway Human Transporter. TI's TMS320C2000 DSP platform was used to implement closed-loop motor control and balance computation to the Segway, the first self-balancing electric powered transportation machine.
