If you haven't heard of Legway, I highly recommend checking it out at www.teamhassenplug.org   ...Steve came up with a very cool robot a while back that stands up and balances on two-wheels.

I am happy to say that I was able to make Legway work for myself!!!  This may
not be a huge accomplishment as Steve has made the code available along with the
robot design...but for me, it was significant because I had to modify his code
to work with my version of brickos...this means I had to really start knocking
the rust off my C language programming (unused for 15 years).

Anyway, Legway isn't real useful, but it is fun to play with.  If you have the
sensors and are technical enough to get brickos going, I highly recommend making
it...it took me about an hour to get it going.

Thanks Steve!!!  Love it.

Bryan

(...) I love to hear about these. I know building someone else's design, and using someone else's code doesn't sound like a challenge, but I also know setting up BrickOS IS a challenge. And besides, it's pretty cool to watch it stand there... Steve (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.robotics)
