That's really cool! The video rocked--it's really quite nifty to see a
robot trying to adapt in realtime to its situation.
Iain suggested we do something like this for rtl13. Though that is a while
off (we still have 11 and 12 on deck for the next eight months) I think it
would be really an interesting contest. Another possibility for rtl13 is
the Tiltalator MIT competition, which is another balancing-ish contest.
Perhaps we can get a demo of a Segway HT for it or another control
systems/balancing machine. By then I'm sure
I can see it now:
rtlToronto13: Balance of Power
Corny, yes.
