The CBC v2 computer has PID motor control and accelerometer. Has anyone tried building a self- balancing robot that drives on only two wheels, just like Botguy?
Calling the accelerometer and setting motor speed (which are both on/controlled by the CBOB) each take a few milliseconds, so I doubt you could get the refresh rate needed for something like that.
I actually designed one a few years back using the XBC and a few Tophat sensors. It worked pretty well. Also got it to almost work with sonce Ultrasonic sensors.

That would be very difficult.
Its been done using the RCX and light sensors. Substitute the light sensors with the accelerometer. Here is a link to Legway: http://www.generation5.org/content/2004/legway.asp
