This is the beginnings of a robot I’ve been working on. Katie named it Gizmo. Eventually, it will be a two-wheeled balancer and stand up like this on its own. The picture is a little deceiving, the wheelbase is about 14" and it stands 24" high. The electronics for this are almost complete, it will be gyroscope stabilized like a Segway and eventually roam around on its own avoiding obstacles. This hardware is a quick hack so I can get started on the software, at some point the hose-clamp motor mounts will be replaced by something more permanent.
