Trying to figure out the Segway...

Hey,

Yesterday I went to my dad's company picnic and got to play with a Segway. Ever since, I have been trying to figure out the algorithm behind it...hehe!

I think it's a PID loop. As you lean, it adds the offset to a separate integral term that controls the speed. It seems simple, but for 5 grand, it seems that I'm missing something...or is it just overpriced?

What are your thoughts? I can't get anyone around me to analyze how it works because they don't care or know enough to figure it out.

Gosh that thing was fun...
