They might want to take a look at Dean Kamen's original patents for the Segway. If I remember correctly, this design was basically already laid out in that patent app. So.. congrats for building it and showing it off. Not so much for the "original idea".]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Strike One]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2007 1:05AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
