I wonder how many thousands of lines of software code is required to control 6 motors and gyros. Pretty amazing, but likely pretty limited applications. Maybe for NASA?
A group of engineering students have designed what may be the coolest motorcycle ever, if you can even call it a motorcycle.
While at San Jose State University last spring, senior Max Ratner and a team of undergrads invented what they call the Spherical Drive System.
