 Looks like it wouldn't be too hard to duplicate- use a wii-fit board for the 
control input - it already has pressure sensors (?) built-in.? I think standing 
sideways on it is much better than the segway's forward facing position that 
seems to be intended to guarantee a face plant in the event of a failure of a 
big bump.

Is there going to be a meeting any time soon?? I just finished a project...?
