Yeah, I was thinking about that. So I might make a feeler design just to experience with using a pot as an angle measurement.
There's also a problem with the pendulum idea. If I am making constant adjustments to control the angle, then the pendulum will start swinging. The swinging will cause harder adjustments, which will just feed this repetition harder until the robot tips. I'm thinking of something along the classic pendulum lines, I'll try to make up a CAD drawing and post it later.
