Gyro/Balance question
A couple of us on 131 where chatting about building a balancing platform (similar to the platform on the segway) but with no handle bars and such.

I have a couple of questions,

If you have something on this platform, and you play it in front of the axle it will go forward correct? Now if you leave it in the same spot, will it gather speed as it moves forward or will it keep a constant speed?

Does anyone know of any balancing code that is available?

Does anyone know how to program or how to go about programing a "Speed limiter". Lets say the object is going to fast the platform will tilt back to keep it going below the top speed?

Thanks,
Matt
