Overview:
So you love the BalBot, but you really wanted the challenge of making it work yourself? Well now you can! This kit -- our lowest cost kit ever -- gives you all the wonderful mechanical parts you need to build your own BalBot, yet gives you the freedom to use your own motor controller and control electronics. So now you can make it work the way you want and experience the satisfaction of developing your own balance control electronics and algorithms!
We worked hard to develop the mechanical parts that make the BalBot so wonderful - custom plastic injection-molded parts, custom high-performance motors, custom sheet metal, and more. Now you can have them yourself for a low price!
