Segway Polo

ctwxman writes "Sure you've got a Segway - now what? How about Segway Polo from the Bay Area Segway Enthusiasts Group? Yes, they do fall off from time-to-time, though they're getting better! Spectators are welcome for the two events each month in San Fransisco. Be there and be square."

Segway Jousting. Need I say any more?

(Come on, you know you want to see it, too :)

Copy the comments?

Can we just copy all the comments from when this was posted here in July rather than having everyone comment over again?

Sure we've all seen the Segway, but have you seen.

When you get right down to it, the Segway is quite simple. It is a closed loop feedback control system that corrects error in the device angle. Not too difficult for any electrical or computer engineering student. However, a one wheeled segway is a very different story. I'd like to see polo played on that thing.

Local bike cops got segways...

... and hate them.
A bunch of local businessmen donated segways to the local police department earlier this year. I was talking to one of the officers who is using them now, and he says it is the worst waste of money he's ever seen. The segways are not as manuverable/fast as a bike, need batteries, and are just wierd around town. Sounds about right to me.

Wow!

Wow, that's gotta be a new one! A Dupe of another comment in a Dupe of another story. Not bad, Mister Coward!

Of course, it was suggested...

...but I think you could have at least credited the original poster.
