RFM I wouldn't say he's cheating. Let's just say it takes about 2 weeks to learn to ride a bike without training wheels trying two hours a day (random numbers) It took me one week to learn to track stand longer than 2 minutes...I admit, I was really excited about the fixie and practice about an hour per day. So that's 30 hours total. How long would it take to learn all of the engineering disciplines that go into making the robot? Then, how about designing it and building it (an iterative process, I'm sure) until it works? I'm definitely the cheater \\paul -- Paul M.

RFM That's a bizarre attitude to take. A robot cheating? It's a machine. The objective was to demonstrate balancing technology, not it's ability to learn muscular coordination like a human. |
