Robot balance without accelerometer

This robobuilder has no accelerometer or gyroscope. It is able to maintain it's balance using it's servos as sensors! This is just a proof of concept test - sometimes the robot moves towards the force, but this is simply because the 'step' animation has trouble on the glass table.

Oh wait... I posted too soon. Did you just program the servos to hold a certain angle while the droid is stationary?

Thank you for posting this by the way. I too am a frugal and budding roboticist who wants to undertake the ambitious task of a humanoid robot.

Please elaborate on exactly how the sensors fill the function of accelerometers,gyroscopes, and sensors
