No gyro yet ... but seeing how that pesky robot season is over we might find time to put one on! As for the mechanism torquing itself, we simply lean forward and use our weight to counterbalance the torque of the wheels. If the mechanism starts rotating back, we simply slow down. You have to have a gentle hand to ride the thing, but it's great fun, and anyone could do it given proper training/time.

For the interested, there is an article at www.pitnews.org.
