I think i'm slowly being known as the boardmember who posts weird findings, but heck (heck?) here goes:

This guy pulled it off. Building your own Segway using off the shelf parts.
It's a light read, the guy has a good sense of humor, and he gives lots of links to similar (two wheel balancing) projects.

This shows the early version of the dead man's switch, which really is not adequate. I found this out when I fell off, but the wire pulled apart instead of yanking out the connector. When it pulled apart, the exposed strands ended up touching to complete the circuit and keep it going. Fortunately, a safety feature in the software shut it down before it ran over my head.

Bwahahahaha!
