Re: 2 wheeled balancing robot

i am looking to do it with small gear motors or servos, MAYBE i am not sure how much power i will need so i may use CIM or drill motors and i dont know what i will use for a controller because i dont know the speed yet, the size will be about 2 feet tall or less and it will be a robot that will not bbe riden on i will eventually make it so i can control it like adding an offest to set the "balance" a little off so it will drive one way while it is "balanced"

would i be able to use folmulas from the inverted pendulum problem? because there motrs would be moving it and the gyro would meaure the tilt just as a pot on a inverted pendulum would
