Gyroscope and Self Balancing Mechanism on Zetros

[thebricky]

Hello Friends, 

I have made a Self-Balancing System and a gyroscope, then I just mounted them on the Zetros.

It was nice to test that the gyroscope was always parallel to the ground while the zetros was going uphill. Then I thought of making a mechanism that could balance it when I put an object on it.

Self-Balancing System i made, is able to balance in two axis. It keeps the platform parallel to the ground in all situations by means of the LEGO Robot Inventor angular sensors coded with python.

Thanks.

Nice! Those are both pretty interesting ideas to see!

I love the law of conservation of angular momentum - along with all Newton's laws of motion ...

Very nice video and demonstration!

Very interesting! I'm amazed the the gyro holds its orientation for so long.

Well, it is very nicely propelled - not much friction and thus momentum there - it is a really nice demonstration!

Best,
Thorsten
