As I currently type this, on the Discovery show, ‘How It’s Made’ they are showing how to build a Segway :] Watch it if ya can =]
i just saw it very in lightning compared to some others i have seen
I knew there would be something good as soon as I took How its Made off the Wish List on my TiVo.
It’s episode 24 of How It’s Made. No near showings on the Discovery Channel nor The Science Channel were found on their website…
though I did find this…
I was lucky to catch this segment before I had to go to work today, and it was awesome…and you beat me to the boards to inform you of it. I really liked how they actually spent some time explaining the components and not just said “its a box with motors electronics and wheels” they explained the controller, the redundancies, the components, the gyros, the gearbox, and explained how many times a second the machine calculates gravity. It was nice to see the segway completely disassembled and then reassembled before your eyes. A++ to them, I’ve seen a number of these episodes where they are so so vague, and your like “why did I bother watching?”.
Do they have this episode archived so that it can be d/l 'd and be watched. I would have liked to seen something like that explained and built from scratch.
I checked the Discovery site and couldn’t find anything.
If I [or anyone else] finds anything, I’m sure we’ll let ya know
