That is cool. The idea floating through my head as I see the Ballbot is to have a computer mouse do that. Freak the teacher out.

When will the segway projects end?!?:ahh:

That would make a really cool project, though. Neutrino, I hope you find the time to make it. That would be an amazing thing to do. Good luck.

Well, after I am sure I can ace the SAT, and finish some APs without harming any woodland creatures in the vicinity, I will try. I think it would be pretty badass to have a platform you could glide around on.. Like, sit cross-legged and just tilt in the direction you wanna move, maybe press buttons with your hands to spin..

For another day :(
