In all truth, our whole robot is our balancer; It has a few automatic balancing modes, a brake mode, which resets it to it's previous position in the event it's moved, and a few gyros to help it know it's position.
Surprisingly, robots can be great balancing mechanisms by themselves with a few sensors and some software.
