That said, I don't think the designers either imagined or took in account 100% of all curb cuts that exist in the "real world". The issue that I believe exists is when the sidewalk is high enough, the ramp is steep enough, the road is crowned enough and the unit rolls on the roll axis enough that it sets up a brief yaw oscillation. I am nearly 100% convinced that at the right speeds the device is simply given enough conflicting information and tries to over correct for one thing just slightly after the next that it is enough to throw the rider. My belief is that the LSF is actually the culprit here and that if the device was not getting the "back and forth" information provided from it the condition wouldn't exist. This exact same curb cut would be trivial for a bicycle to negotiate. If you'd like to test it out, I've included one that I now know can be a problem and it's a fairly repeatable test too!

It seems you think it was designed to tackle any obstacle you can throw at it. It isn't.

You don't need to zip a .kmz file. KMZ is already a zipped .kml file, and by zipping it again you are making the file bigger because of the extra overhead of the ZIP format, and you are potentially exposing the userbase to viruses. Cut it out. Just attach the .KMZ. |

See attachment to see what I see as far as file types go. Nowhere in the list does it have .kmz as an acceptable file type nor does it appear to ever want to let me upload one.

Yes. I also maintain that is part of the problem.

Quade...
Why do you have a Segway, since you apparently dislike them so much? In all your postings, recently, it seems to be negative toward either the disabled using Segways in crowded area, since the Segway isn't to be trusted... or your Segway doesn't do/isn't performing in some situation exactly how you want it to do/perform. |

Ur doin it wrong.
Please take some danged pictures of the curb cut in question, from as many angles as you can. Until then, everyone can safely assume you just don't know what you are doing when you're on the platform. |

Judge, I withdraw my objection and request a continuance to allow evaluation of the new evidence.

I used to live in Santa Ana. I just came back from a long weekend with the i2 in San Diego. I took a long glide through North Park on Saturday night to see friends, going over buckled sidewalks and sketchy curb cuts that made Santa Ana look like Beverly Hills by comparison. Not a single moment of bad behavior or instability from the i2. It was one of the more memorable and satisfying glides I've had in a while, as I felt it really proved the merit of the lean steer design.
I really don't understand what you're referring to.... |
