Yesterday's (7/1/99) Wall Street Journal also has an extensive article on
the wheelchair with pictures on the front page of the "B" section (p.
B1), for any of you who subscribe.  I haven't checked, but I suspect the
WSJ web site would carry the same coverage.

Just having fun  :)

Thanks for the physics lesson.  This is one of the aspects of robotics • that I
like; there are so many aspects that need to be taken into consideration.

BTW for anyone who is in the SF bay area and has access to the Mercury • news.
There was a good picture of the wheelchair on page C2.  They didn't
mention the
Lead sack though :).

Keep it light -- Phil

on only two wheels. I believe the inventor said the reflex of the • adjustment
to keep the balance was fast than that of a human. WOW. A most • impressive
machine.

Yeah,

Except, I figured this one was going down entirely sarcastic
lines of discussion.  I mean, my sarcasm meter was pegging off the
scale on these posts.
