Re: 5 Stars

Yes, I'm fully aware of that Sebastian, I'm a robotics engineer but it doesn't mean I have to like everything that uses a given technology. There are a lot of other and possibly better uses for this type of gyroscopic stabiliser than a Segway,everyone has the right to like them or not like them, I go with the latter.

There are a lot of inventions that seem to be on the scrapheap but which are actually only postponed until development or the market moves to a point where they become viable in some way, I'd say this was one of them. With the benefits of LiPo batteries and better software it is about time powered wheelchairs moved forward from the Mobility Scooter to something really useful for people who can't go where they like because of disabilty.
