go to this link to see a picture and details of a company that sells univ.
lab equipment. The challenge is whether this can be done using RCX.

if there are problems with the link, go to the main site www.quanser.com and
click on quick list and click on rotary IP.

Rich,
Am I completely thick or is the problem simpler than I'm imagining? Way
back when at the University of Waterloo, we designed a 2D inverted pendulum
balancer on a plotter bed. The pendulum rotated a sensor, and we had to
move the bed to keep it stable. You'd get bonus points for moving the bed
in 2 dimensions....
I just don't understand the statement "Build a robot that stabilizes the
inverted pendulum by rotating it" or the picture (which should be enclosed
in a <pre> tag to display properly.
Please clarify as I'm anxious to make this robot :-)
Cheers, Ralph Hempel
