After finishing my sumobot I was really excited to build another robot so I started brainstorming. I finally decided I wanted to try and make a balancing robot sort of like a segway only a lot simpler. Now the problem is I didn't have any super fancy sensors like accelerometer…

Private video Can you set your YouTube videos so they are not private?

cool robot. i think my mini cool robot. i think my mini sumo is gonna be a failure D: the design is too cramped!!! anyway, that just my prototype, gonna make a better one.i may make a balancing robot too. haha

Wow! This project sounds awesome, your sensors remind me of a line following robot I read in a book. It shines a bright LED on the ground and compares the amount of light reflecting in the LDR, but a balancing robot is so much better! I can’t wait to see the video.

a balancing robot with a ldr a balancing robot with a ldr as sensor is very critical… please provide free videos or i will think that it is a fake :smiley:

Oops Ya I wil fix that, I thought they were

RobotRoom Are you talking about the books from David Cook because thats were I got the inspiration to try it from. I actually have both his books and his website is a great resource. His stuff really got me into trying to build my own robots.

Videos!!! The videos should be up now. I made them all public so if it still isn’t working please let me know.

Interesting, any idea of Interesting, any idea of this could be done with a IR sensor too?

good results !!!i tryed the good results !!! i tryed the same balancing robot some times ago using (slow) picaxe and IR photodiode / IR led it did not works very well :frowning: [2873492992_7bf37e9101.jpg] anyway the design was col :)
