Hey! Saw this article on hackaday.com .
I didn't know MIT Had a FIRST team :\ .
2811 here, and damn I wanna go to MIT.
What kind of FPGA do you have three? I have a Spartan-3E starter board from Diligent...still can't do anything fancy with it...trying to make it a software radio like the USRP from Ettus Research in LabVIEW.
Cool Segway :)
Very nice! I love how the device tries to balance it self as soon as you step off.
