everything regarding the craigwat is correct.

1) it does not turn, yet :-)

2) the rider still has to balance it manually, the code works, but the FP drivetrain is not strong enough to support a human riders applied weight.

3) a lower CF would help balancing, but while testing we needed ground clearance to allow for great changes in angle to test the gtro code. it increases with change in angle and we needed to test it as such..

4) WERNER, where is your "871 ALUMNI" TAG!!!!

(you spend years helping create a genius and then they pretend not to be associated with you :-)
