Have a good look on the balancing robot. It’s actually a very simple robot, which uses a simple switch as a sensor and stands on only two wheels with inverted pendulum mechanism.

The specialty of the robot is the high balancing ability. Let’s take an example. When the robots is going to fall, the motor starts and moves the robot to the direction it is going to fall. As a result, the motor torque about the center of gravity that is higher than the motor makes the robot in the balanced situation.

By the way, those components that you’re needed here are:

  • Some small electric motor;

  • Some gears;

  • A shaft two wheels;

  • Some sheets of plastic;

  • Two battery holders;

  • 4 AA batteries;

  • One button cell;

  • One SPDT switch;

  • One toggle switch.

After that, you can start combine all the components and build the balancing robot. Honestly, it takes you only about an hour to finish the whole making process. [vahid_you2004]
