segway!

Our team was able to ride the segway in Vermont before we even went to any regional events:

The company that's sponsoring us, Northern Power, gets one of their control modules from a company that builds part of the segway, so tey brought one in for us to ride it. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take any pictures, which I thought was stupid since there were already pictures out there of dean riding it etc...

Anyways, it was really cool...
We got questions answered for over an hour and they explained to us in fair detail how it works etc.

Just one question left for me: What happens when the battery runs out? Do you fall over? lol ;-)
