Self-balancing scooters
You have probably seen and maybe even ridden on a self-
balancing scooter (also called a hoverboard or a self-
balancing board). These personal transportation devices
have two motorized wheels with a platform for a rider to
stand on between them. The platform has a pivoting joint
in the middle. The rider steers the scooter by twisting the
two sides of the platform. The rider controls the speed by
leaning forward and backward. These vehicles use a
balancing technology similar to the one used in the robots
in this kit.
