Re: Self Balancing Robot in FIRST (plausible? possible? preferable?)
Anybody remember when Dean used the IBot to balance the bridge at Nationals in 2001? It did it with no effort at all... he just drove up to about the middle of the bridge, it moved a couple of inches, and balanced. One of the coolest things I've seen in FIRST... made all that effort teams put into balancing look like a breeze. Then again, the IBot had something like 9 gyros on it. I'd also be interested to see how a Segway would balance on the bridge from 2001. Has anyone tried that, by chance?
