Trevor Blackwell who had built a few (ver 1, ver 2) segway clones but felt that 2 wheels was 1 too many. So he built a one wheeled electric unicycle! His site has full parts list and instructions on how to build your own. “The unicycle balances itself using a simple feedback loop between a solid-state gyroscope and the wheel motor. When it detects itself tilting forward, it runs the
This is Snake robot number 7, go to the site to see the other 6. There are also interesting videos available on the site. Materials: Expanded PVC plastic, steel rod, and plastic gears S7 is an experimental prototype that is still under development. It was inspired by a Dr. Miller’s encounter with a python. In particular it avoids using wheels to achieve locomotion by implementing a more advanced segment design.
