 In any case, don't beat yourself up over it. Only 24 teams get to play in elimination rounds. Sometimes you're in the 24, and sometimes you aren't. - jgannon [more] |

Saw the other post, so thought it'd put up a shot of my segway. Custom built at the tech shop in Menlo Park, CA. Some information is posted on a website i started (but never finished). Was riding it around at the Las Vegas regional. If any other teams are interested in building their own i'd be happy to help out :")

Re: pic: My Segway
Cost me around 3grand to make....valued around 4.
$700 torque sensor for steering (you could use a $1 pot instead :")
$1,000 A123 Li-Ion batteries (can build your own pack for $400)
$572 for motors and gearboxes (i found them for $150 a pair on ebay)
I bet someone can build a nice one for under 2k.
15MPH
10 mile range
Never tested the max weight it can handle...but it's ridden fine with a 250 rider, and fine with 2x 150 riders :")

This looks an awful lot like the one on the episode of systm 
Great job on the show!
For those that don't watch Systm, Daniel was featured on an episode along with his segway. He did a awesome job! http://revision3.com/systm/techshop/
