it uses gyro and accelerometer and Kalman filtering.The motors are fischertechnik dc gear motors with gear ratio 8:1 from the Power Motor Set part no. 34965. They can also be ordered as single parts, part no. 35481, from Knobloch GmbH. The original manufacturer is Igarashi, part no. are:

33G / N2738-XXX-XXXX

1:8 33G / N2738-132-0008

1:20 33G / N2738-132-0020

1:50 33G / N2738-132-0050

big deal, you can buy the kit and assemble it just like that.

@totsilok: what kit are you referring to?

[carlosfrm]

Is that made out of fishers technik?

[uffi63]

yes, Fischertechnik, that's correct

@clbgeballe

hey brilliant couch potato, it is also possible to do it with 1 motor when one of the wheels only have a controlled brake mechanism, a big disadvantage about it, the control problem is harder(radial movement).. I dont think you can solve that problem even while you cannot imagine that..

@ivan3x idiot

[ivan3x]

Why 2 motors used? Is not 1 enough ?

Hello Uffi, what are the references of your gyros and accelerometer ?

[lennart777]

Nice robot!

Do you only use a gyro or also a accelerometer and Kalman filtering? And what kind of motors?

[leonarul]

haha,very nice and simple circuit with extra balance.

I have that gyro!!
