 FIRST is kind of like charity work... you are, even if only in some small way, helping our future just a little bit, and you get a great feeling from it. Even if you are just ringing a bell (or clapping MOE sticks together), you're helping. - Amanda Morrison [more] |

I saw a number of these from Wednesday into Saturday. They are not dead, but indeed off. I saw many people plug their segways in, especially during mealtime in the volunteer lounge. They would rest the segway against the wall, whip out a cord, and simply plug it in. There is a "kickstand" type mode, where the segway will balance with no one standing on it, but it does take battery power to fight the forces of gravity. The ideal method of temporary storage is to turn it off though, since there is no cooldown or warm up time, simply turn it on and go.
