A nifty balancing robot.

I'll have to try it with the Mongoose.

Pommie said:@3v0, do you think the high battery pack would slow down the system in a similar way a long pole does with a tightrope walker?
Mike.
I do like the simplicity of using a IR distance sensor facing the floor.
3v0 said:Think about the two extreems. The first is like the equibot. It has a large mass that must be ballanced high above the wheels. On the other extreem would be a system with the center of mass below the wheels like a tight rope walker using a pole with weights that hang off the end of the pole below the rope.
Pommie said:I think of it more like balancing a broom on my hand. The longer the broom the more time I have to move my hand underneath it. His low rate of sensor reading may be the reason that he has the batteries high. Maybe someone should mail the owner of equibot and ask what effect moving the batteries has.
