hi all--
lately I've been playing with legway-inspired ideas. After much frustration, I'm finally getting

software control than hardware issues. I'm curious if anyone has been working on something
similar, and/or would anyone be interested in trading ideas, designs, and software? The eventual
goal is to design a two-wheeled balancing robot that can be built with standard Lego parts. I'm
convinced it's possible.
