RIDE THE REVOLUTION

Segskate - Senior design project


Abstract:
Segskate is like Segway but it is a skateboard. The goal is to design and construct a skateboard on two wheels that will be balanced by electric motors. Its directional movement will be determined by sensing where the person riding Segskate is leaning. It will be able to turn due to pressure sensors on the board.
