I had some success with a pendulum blocking a light sensor - and also with
a pendulum swinging from an axle with a 40t gear meshing onto an 8t gear
on a rotation sensor.
(I was trying to build a 2 wheeled vehicle like a bicycle and needed the
pendulum to balance it - both designs of pendulum worked well - but the
bike didn't :-(

The response time of the pendulum is not very fast, but the platform does not move very fast either, so it works reasonably well. Details can be found here: (URL) that (...)
