This is my entry for the Alternative Propulsion Challenge. This isn’t the first or the best balancing robot, but I would say that only 2 wheels is unusual for a Lego robot. Adding to the challenge is that I don’t have an NXT, or, more importantly, the gyro sensor that works with the NXT. This robot works by adjusting its balance by almost constantly moving its wheels whenever the light sensors (mounted on the front and back) register unequal values.
I tried to upload a video, but there seems to be a bug... I’ll upload one ASAP.

Does it balalance on its own without motors or does it need to be constantly adjusted to stay upright?

that is a good idea. i alwys tried to make a segway with one light sensor but i never thought of using 2 and programming it to move when it isnt equal with the one in the back. you are a genious and i love the rcx.
