471's Team segways

Here are team 471's segways, two different prototypes, one is controlled with a central joystick and the other uses two drill housings for speed control. They move around pretty quick
with those FP motors, and you can hear them comming because the motor gears make some noise. They have casters on the back now, but I think they were originally trying a tilt switch balance system where the motors would be compensating for the tilt of the base due to a smooth teflon slipper switch mounted under the platform that would ride on the floor.
