Hello everyone,

I would like to design and build a self balancing robot something along the lines of "Botka - The barely standing robot".

Please visit the following link.

It will help to understand what Im talking about.

I would also like to know the areas in which I might encounter any difficulties while designing the robot. A brief description of how to make it work will also be helpful. I came across a bot by the name nBOT that is similar to Botka. And the designer of nBOT gave a vague and brief description of how it works on his website. The website in question is

www.geology.smu.edu/~dpa-www/robo/nbot/

Although I read through most of the site, I could only understand like 40% to 50% of it. It would be helpful if someone could fill in the gap in simple language or lend their own insight as to how such a thing might be built.

Thank you

I guess my question was very vague and generalized but atleast thanks for the views.

Robotics chat would be a more apropriate place to post this question and get probably more and better responses than here
