Amazing...
...I seem to have gotten to a Segway related topic before MattK...

The Article

Stolen from Slashdot

from the balancing-act dept.
Jeff Lalo writes "This Guy has built a Lego version of Dean Kamens Segway Human Transporter. This thing was constructed using only Legos, two cheap (~$40) custom sensors and some smart programing using the open source BrickOS for the Lego RCX. The LegWay, as the creator calls it, can balance itself on two wheels and follow a line. Pretty cool for few lego blocks!"
I feel dirty, but I have to admit it's kinda interesting...

This isnt hard to do, I am a counslor @ FIRST PLACE during the summer and they have two "Lego League" weeks. We built a similar thing yet the kids being age 10-13 couldent really hold their own attentions to work on it.

So Kamen spent millions of dollars developing the Segway, and then some guy goes out and builds the same thing with LEGOs and cheap sensors. Wow.
