Lego Segway

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the balancing-act dept.

Jeff Lalo writes "This Guy has built a Lego version of Dean Kamens Segway Human Transporter. This thing was constructed using only Legos, two cheap (~$40) custom sensors and some smart programing using the open source BrickOS for the Lego RCX. The LegWay, as the creator calls it, can balance itself on two wheels and follow a line. Pretty cool for few lego blocks!"

    *Every* geek I know invented a rubberband lego gun when they were a kid. Mine could send pencils through cardboard. If you haven't done one yourself, then you're not a geek and you're reading the wrong website.

    yeah, except I'm ONYX, the guy who built it, and if you scroll down you'll see digipics for the frikin naysayers like yourself. not to mention the fact that I've sold over 40 of them at $65 a pop. pretty sure people would be pissed if they dropped coin and didn't get exactly what was listed on the page.

    amatures.

    Apparently (Moderation Totals: Redundant=3, Informative=1, Funny=1, Total=5.) someone would rather have people whoring for karma. Moderation is just ass-licking stupid. Or at least it is applied by morons who are incapable of moderating intelligently.

    BSD is for leftover hippies that never liked AT&T, Linux is for free-thinking modern unix fans.
