Team Made "Segways"
OK yeah so we have seen the numbers of them grow over the past few years and now im wondering, what teams have them and do you have pics of them?
~Dez |
And add to that: how do they work?
|
we have one sorta we actually took it aprt to work on it so no pics sorry
|
Oh yeah we have two!
Check out www.pitnews.org for an article on our version..We are Team 122, the NASA Knights and have two "Knight Krawlers".
Two wheels and smooth control. Also do a search here on CD for Knight Krawler or Fahringer. Should we have more teams with these? |
www.howstuffworks.com .. look up segway .
|
I'm going to try and attempt to make one with some team members...

Harrison, and his treammates from Mowatt ('Mobotics') were riding around on one at the Canadian regional, but airline restriction probably prevented its going to Houston.

Mobotics Segway
What is this Canadian Segway like? Two, three, or four wheels?
Could you tell how it was powered? |
gyroless segways?
my team is trying to build 1 using 2 gyros.
but i have a question to all (however many) teams have tried to build 1. wut motors did u use and did u try to use the gyro w/ an auto ballance code? if u did or didnt id still like to know how yours worked and if it was similar to the real thing? |
Darn, he beat me to it. Well as he said, my team is heading up a project to attempt to build a two-wheeled, gyro-balanced segway. One question he missed (I think) was, how did you guys pwoer yours? We want to use old bot batteries but we're afraid it'll drain too quickly (like 15 minutes). Any info appreciated.

Info on 122's Knight Krawler?
The Team 122 custom Segway (Knight Krawler) uses the 2001 window motors and kit battery for power, why not read the article on it at www.pitnews.org? The pictures were lost for the article, but I could give the author, Mike O'Brian, some new ones. Anyone want to see close-ups of the Knight Krawler?
If you haven't seen it run check out "122 is done!" in quicksearch. d.f. |
I tried that, found the thread but all the links are dead. Also, you said you used a PIC to control the motors, did you try it with RC? Was it too slow? too jerky? didn't work at all?
|
Does having the platform lower than the wheels help alot with the balance? Does it help at all? Thanks |
