I think this should be good for now.  This page has links to a couple mirror
sites, so the bandwidth should be ok for a few hours!

Here's one of the mirror sites:

I have the LegWay remote working, but it's a bit rough.  I didn't realize
LegWay could go from a full-speed spin to a dead stop without falling over.
Now, I'm going to have to make a video of that...

Tell me what you think.

I think it's absolutely fabulous! A clever solution to the tricky task of
top-heavy balancing...for that really is the essence of it. I like the
simple approach involving very few parts. Well done!

BTW, in looking at your website I noticed your Milk Money robot. Tremendous!

I finally have a web page with information, pictures (when moderated) and video for my LegWay robot. This robot will balance on two wheels, and can follow a line. Tell me what you think. (URL) see how long it takes me to use up all my bandwidth... (...) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics) !!
