Balancing Robot

This is a very simple robot that uses a simple switch as a sensor and stands on only two wheels with inverted pendulum mechanism.
When the robot is going to fall the motor starts and moves the robot to the direction it is going to fall, so the motor torque about the center of gravity that is higher than the motor makes the robot balanced.

    The track is called “Triage at Dawn” and is from the official Half-Life 2 soundtrack. I got my physical copy with the Half Life 2 Gold bundle. It may still be available on Valve’s online store.

    Hey won’t your robot be more stable if you increase the height of the batteries? If it’s taller it will take longer to fall over and I think it will stay upright longer that way.
