Re: Students build SEGWAY in 3 months using Labview and the cRIO
While this is a very cool project, and the students that developed it are rightful to be proud of their work, it is worth pointing out that this capability is far from unique to the NI platform. For example, two years ago Benge Ambrogi built a similar self-balancing device (I am being very careful to NOT call it a "Segway") in a few weekends.
The controller he used? The VEX RC (yeah, the same one that we already have, er uh um, used to have, in FVC, ah, uhm, I mean FTC).
