::nod:: An 8-12MPH spill isn't much to fret over -- many people can run it. I agree with having the gyro readings compared, as the results from one couldn't be perfect, but I'm not sure about the importance of redundant sisterboards. Two motors per wheel could provide more torque than one I suppose if nothing else =)
If a pedestrian leans forward, he puts out his feet to catch himself, and the result is walking. Similarly, if a Segway rider leans forward, the machine speeds up to catch him and keep him on balance.
If a rider leans forward while he's crusing at the Segway's speed limit, what happens? If the speed limit is absolute, the Segway of course isn't able to move forward any faster to catch him. IT is able only to control its own speed--not the orientation of its rider. Any suggestions?
