Scooty is a self-balancing two-wheeled bot, which loftly aims at being the prototype for a larger ridable version (someday =). Lots of info about the project can be found @ zappedlab.com.
Thanks for looking!

Nice video, I like Scooty, very well done. How do you like the BaneBots wheels? Im interested in them but think they may not be too durable. Im thinking of using them (2x .8wides) for a sumobot powered by Black and decker motors and am worried about shreading the wheels in the 1st day on pavement. I want tons of traction but that usually sacrifices treadwear.
@g00ze & patrickmccabe - plan is to control it remotely someday soon. I have the nordic FOB (bottom picture on site’s gallery) finally talking to the pic32. Twas the xmas project this year with my brother in town. Until then, it’s just a balancing bot that balances =)
@wohn - I like the wheels, but must admit that I haven’t put them through much abuse. As you say, they have great traction. Scooty has had a few outdoor trips (on ice, even), but the act of balancing doesn’t lend itself to much burnt rubber. =)
