Tbot 0.2 balancing robot climbing stairs

A more detailed promo video showing our Tbot 0.2 automatically-balancing robot climbing up stairs and going down stairs. John Rebula (MIT) & I spent several months trying to get this robot to climb stairs smoothly without falling over or driving too fast, and it wasn't easy but in the end we found a slow and a fast way that were both very smooth and about 80% reliable (about 20% chance that the robot will fly off in a random direction at high speed!).
