Thanks Sanddrag! That advice was right on the money!
The link works now! The KnightKrawler does turn like a tank but the right grip throttles forward and backward and the left twist grip controls left and right steering. The cool thing is that when you are spinning around in a circle, you sense your lack of balance, and make corrections with the right grip like normal! I suspect this is identical in a gyro segway and on our KnightKrawler this feels good! Just maintaining your balance manually feels good, I wonder how fast and how powerful can a manual machine get assuming good control charactaristics and low CG platform design. Can we overtake a standard Segway's 12.5 MPH limit? Manually? Last edited by D.Fahringer : 24-06-2003 at 23:26.
