 Another great motivation factor has been all the great videos from [[http://www.youtube.com|Youtube]], where many people have tried to make a balancing robot using the LEGO Mindstorm kit. Most of them are very unstable and only capable of balancing, so it seems as a great challenge to make a remote controlled driving balancing robot with implemented behaviour models enabling the robot to interact with the environment. We were especially impressed and inspired by the outstanding implementation by Yorihisa Yamamoto(([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ulBRQKCwd4|Yorihisa Yamamoto's nxtway-gs]])). Another great motivation factor has been all the great videos from [[http://www.youtube.com|Youtube]], where many people have tried to make a balancing robot using the LEGO Mindstorm kit.

 There are three Servo Motors included in the Mindstorm kit. Each motor has a built-in Rotation Sensor. This lets your control your robot’s movements precisely. The Rotation Sensor measures motor rotations in degrees or full rotations (accuracy of +/- one degree). One rotation is equal to 360 degrees, so if you set a motor to turn 180 degrees, its output shaft will make half a turn. The built-in Rotation Sensor in each motor also lets you set different speeds for your motors (by setting different power parameters in the software). The motors have sufficient power in order to make the robot balance. There are three Servo Motors included in the Mindstorm kit. Each motor has a built-in Rotation Sensor.
