It was fun to use the campus wifi to drive it around campus and berate people with it. It had a webcam/speaker/mic setup so we could drive it all over campus without leaving the lab.
I was also the test pilot for this system, because a person also had to be able to ride the segway with the system in place. We had to make the segway think someone was on it, but we also had to have a way to hit the pressure points manually so a person could take control of it. This led to a lot of testing and wrecking of it and a lot of bruises for me. I have gotten tossed from one more times than I can remember.
