Video: WiiNxtBalance tools around, doesn't fall down

This little bot-- the NXTway-GS -- is a self-balancer, and he's pretty cute, to boot. Thanks to some clever modifications, he's now controllable via Wiimote. Using the LEGO NXT system, and some custom firmware, the little dude is connected to a computer via Bluetooth. The video of the robot in action is after the break -- but if you want to see full instructions for making one of your very own -- hit the read link. And may we suggest you slap a powdered colonial wig on yours?

powdered ... ?

"powdered" could be a color reference or are you suggesting its spelt wrong?

Wigs for men were powdered, usually off-white, in the colonial era, or the 18th century.
The internet disappoints me.
