Attached to the ( have ) base is a platform that is moved by motors ( you need 2 - one for y-axis, one for x-axis ). You put an item on the platform as of you where trying to make it balance. There is either a sensor on the platform that notices the push generated when something starts to fall over or
a camera that watches the top.
When one of these sensors detects motion ( in the object ), the motors move the platform so that it will stop falling over.
A handheld model might be nifty - show off your ability to balance stuff!

They usually look like a seqway without a handle. Or with a handle, if you want to balance people. [jutta, Dec 17 2004]

Ok, i'll try to explain it: Try balancing something on your hand. Notice how your hand goes goes back and forth?
This is basicaly why the motors are moving the platform. |
