tinito build a large two-wheel balancing robot:
tiltOne is a two-wheel balancing robot 90cm tall and able to carry up to 50kg of payload. There are lot of small balancing robots around, but size matters, especially when speaking of balancing a unstable system. Most of small robots “shake” around the vertical, with 5-10 degree oscillation, preventing them from falling down. But when size and weight increase, a 10 degree oscillation needs high acceleration (and resulting speed) to be recovered, and the robot will became a *too* dangerous prototype.
