a VERY brief glance didn't tell me how much it cost him to build (though it looks like he has the numbers up there, if you want to add it up)

kinda cool, though...he got his v2 to go 15mph and it's 20lbs lighter (http://tlb.org/scooter2.html) and he also has a self-balancing unicycle (http://tlb.org/eunicycle.html)

haha, what a dork

If he was good he could use a wi remote to make it drive similarly

^ looks like his endeavors were ~2002 and ~2005...the wii wasn't even out in '05, right?

but yeah

so how do we get the full code for this thing? my dad is actually interested in building one...

would cost 1700 dollars to build the original one

^ versus ($5k?) for a segway...not bad

1700 is well worth it

Check out this new one. Soon we'll all be bumping into each other while text messaging.
