but a so "old news" may be "new" for some people (like me) that haven't seen it two years ago and, about it... why Segway Inc. (or users) don't build high speed Segway for Segway races? ---------------------------------------------- Moonrovers' Prize Competition www.gaetanomarano.it/moonprize/moonprize.html ---------------------------------------------- |

If you do a search of the forum there have actually been numerous discussions at various
times about the pros and cons of speed increases and the safety issues. Personally, I think it's playing with fire to start trying to crank up the speed for a number of reasons, not all of them safety related, and I believe much the same reasons keep this from being a starter with Segway.

I think that, like with Formula 1, the Segways' races may help to research and develop new ideas and technologies to be applied in future Segways and electrical vehicles. ---------------------------------------------- Moonrovers' Prize Competition www.gaetanomarano.it/moonprize/moonprize.html ---------------------------------------------- |

Pretty cool 3-D space shuttle image. I've got the glasses. The image is a bit blurry, like a little out of focus with the two colors, but it looked better as I backed up a bit. Moving the mouse across the screen did make it look more realistic, just like looking thru a window above the space shuttle, pretty cool.
I can't wait till I can talk some fellow SC'er to come with me to Brown County and get a Hologram done of a Segway. I know they would sell like hotcakes. Quite expensive tho. Six hundred a pop, at last visit, but this guy is one of a few in the whole world that can do them live, right there in his studio. Copies are a lot cheaper once an original is done. And, they can be passed from generation to generation, because they are said they can last up to 400 years with little to no deteriation. "Wouldn't it be cool, if?...is like Folgers in my cup" |

I'll search an high resolution image of the shuttle for a better 3-D effect (I'll publish it in the same page when ready) ---------------------------------------------- Moonrovers' Prize Competition www.gaetanomarano.it/moonprize/moonprize.html ---------------------------------------------- |
