Go to Post I've been inspired for real engineering during the build season and on the playing field, but the inspiration I found in the pits is often for creative thinking and intuition. - artdutra04 [more]

How effective?

How effective? I can list some of the things I have been able to do with it.
I have climbed the 2003 ramp straight up as well as in a zig zag tack pattern like sailing. This was with the low geared trainer
Knight Krawler no.2 Turns on the ramp angle are wild!

I have gone down the ramp on both Knight Krawlers, the fast one
is an experience, you have to make sure there is no turning input at all ...and you go onto the downhill very straight.

I have tried balancing teeter totter fashion like the 2001 game.

I have ridden the trainer machine on a long narrow table with 180 degree turns at each end. ( made mpg with PeterGunn soundtrack)

I have ridden the thing all the way around the VCU seigal center and visited most of the pit aisles. The fast one is a handful for beginners, but both are absolutely safe!

The thing breaks down with a screwdriver to fit in a standard suitcase!

I have already looked into a logo and I might pursue it harder now that you remind me! But no "begway" or seg-anything...it's "Knight Krawler" because we are the NASA Knights!

Any one else making a Segway like vehicle?
