The balance that that thing had was amazing... especially impressive considering it was carrying 300+ (345?) pounds!
Definitely PICs in there... I'm thinking the PIC16F505. Heck, that was so advanced, maybe they had 2 of them! ;-)

A 16F Series? Hell I wouldnt be suprised if they used something like 2 PIC32's!

whiz115 said:btw there and other Microcontrollers brands like atmel, motorolla, ST, etc... why it must be a PIC? it could be few atMegas...
Unfortunately this built it's not Iraq-Ready™

Because PIC is the most popular, so much so it's become a generic name for a micro-controller - rather like vacuum cleaners and Hoover.

The balancing was really cool, though. If only it were a tad faster than four miles per hour (according to their Web site).
