Well, all.
I’m making a two-wheeled balancing robot as a step towards making a single-ball balancing bot. I’ve seen the single ball bot (in pictures) for over 10 years, and it hasn’t discouraged me yet.
As long as your motors are strong enough and your control loop fast enough, it should be easy to get a two-wheeled balancing bot to just balance. I now have most of the parts and will start programming shortly. And I have a pair of more powerful motors that I can use if the Pololu ones that should arrive tomorrow don’t work.
Then maybe when I save enough for the motors and wheels I can attempt to build a single-ball bot. The one thing I can’t figure out is how they get the equivalent of wheel encoders, since they are necessary to keep the bot on station. Perhaps a mouse chip that is placed close to the basketball?
Now, if somebody comes out with a levitating bot, that might discourage me for a bit.
