It is very slow right now, and I doubt it will ever be close to the real thing, but we have plans to use it to tow our cart ... and I think that'd be a sight to see.
Anyway, maybe another team member can post pictures or something.

Ya... I love it. 'Minus the Auto-Balance code'
I hope you arn't using a standard robot computer. I think that it would be impossible in PBASIC. A lot easier in C. (Well... still hard as heck, but still easier that PB.)
I'm trying to think. How would the program decide if the user is leaning forward, and thus wants to go forward, or if the unit is 'falling' forward and the user wants to stay still. I remember seeing Dean at the 2002 kick off standing on a ramp. The segway would go up...&...down...up...&...down. Pretty funny. I think that they improved the code, because as i remember, when i saw if again on a ramp, it didn't move at all.
