Discussions:
We started with some new ideas to get things rolling. For example we talked about an air drone which hovers in air and takes data, something like what ash is doing but completely different way of implementation. Have you seen those toy hovers?? Made of foam and plastic fans, and a control circuitry the size of a lemon?

Combining 4 of those with the center part as payload. Something of this sort. We will think about doing this project later.
Next we discussed our CE Bot project. I know you might be tired of hearing "CE Bot" and "discuss" in the same sentence, but this is how things are rolling rite now.
We radically changed the whole design. First we thought of:
We are not going to make it like the segway or a balancing bot! Not an inverted pendulum with the center of gravity higher than the wheels! Not like this::

In our Bot, the COG (center of gravity) will be near the wheel center. Like this::

Prateek, post the pics as a reply on this thread. He will write down who's who this time with the pics 😀
P.S: Biggie, [youtube ][/..] thingy is not working properly, shows a blank Flash player at the center. Since, HTML code is disable, I cannot embed by the normal method.
