You would be right, but "HUGE" depends on your point of view. If you think a 12" diameter, ~20 lbs fly wheel driven 1:1 by a CIM, is huge then yah, it's huge. It is the robot we're using, we just removed the top half of it for testing the gyro out, which is why the battery is held on with a clamp. We didn't mean for it to jump we were just testing out its driving capabilities.
