I made a pendulum based on a rotation sensor with some gearing but it wasn't
very responsive. I got bogged down fixing bugs in the legOS rotation sensor
code (since losing or adding a count meant seeking permanent TILT instead of
level!). For high-speed balancing I doubt the stock fw would be fast enough.
My goal was also to build a bicycle, on the scale of the large white skinny
wheels that come with the RCX. Never really got a working tilt sensor good
enough to try.
