The Discovery Channel has a series of TV commercials touting the slogan "The World is Just Awesome"; well, last night I was watching Discovery and saw the newest commercial featured none other than Dean Kamen on his p133 in addition to several FIRST robots. At approx. 25 seconds Kamen comes in.

I wish you could still get the smaller units. I would love to have a smaller machine with lean steer.

You and me both. Back in Indy I was talking with DrMarty and he said he was threatening to remove the gearboxes and wheels from an i2 and replace them with some from a p133, but seeing as we haven't heard anything about it I can only assume it didn't work.

I've only seen him ride a segway other than a p133 a few times, and in all instances he looked a little uncomfortable.

My guess would be that the science center was using his introduction as a chance to showcase their fleet.
