I just sat down with Pierce Nichols of Logos Electromechanical at the Open Hardware Summit to take a look at some of his kits and projects. He has been busy working on new versions of his Zigduino, among other shields and accessories, but what really caught my attention was his latest robot project.

The bot uses an Zigduino to balance and communicate with the remote control, which houses another Zigduino. We ran it for a while and the balance algorithm worked really well. It’s great to meet makers like Pierce who are so willing to share his projects and experiences. I’m really looking forward to starting my own balancing bot, and I’ll be looking to Pierce for a little help.
