DIY Self Balancing Robot using Arduino DIY Self Balancing Robot using Arduino

After being inspired by RYNO motors and other self-balancing scooters from Segway, I always wanted to build something of my own Arduino Segway Robot. Thinking for a while, I decided to build a Self Balancing Robot using Arduino. This way I would be able to grasp the underlying concept behind all these scooters and also learn how the PID algorithm works.
