Re: Anyone ever make something rideable (go-kart/scooter/misc.) from the Kit Of Parts?
Last year after competition we made a poor man's segway using two powered wheels and two casters..We made a chasis (it was the base of our 2001 robot w/ some mods.) with handles and two switches one on each side..it drove tank style...it worked fairly well and went at a decent speed (it was powered with the van door motors) but some of the pins in the gears we used broke after too much strenuous use.

I'll see if i can dig up pictures/video.

There's also this scooter or super scooter
