to mark as completed Miniature Balancing Autonomous Robot
One of my dreams has been to make a kit of a miniature balancing robot. I've been working on this some time now, coming up with a way to make a reasonable number of them (5).
Here is more info on it, in a prezi: http://prezi.com/kpxcxt4rfckx/miniature-balancing-robot-kit/
Here is the user manual (v4): google docs
I attached the source code (in C, for freescale HCS08 QE128 8 bit processor).
Here is another video showing a second in action - one built by a buddy who provided some feedback about the assembly process. He as customized it giving it a somewhat steampunk look.. two balancing robots
What do you think? Would anyone want one?
