A balancing ballbot using a holonomic platform on three omniwheels and two gyroscopes. Please read the attached .m file for more details. If you like it and would like me to upload more EV3 Simulink and equivalent Python "projects", please let me know in the comment section. The idea of buying EV3 was born in 2018. My then 8-year-old daughter Julia came across http://mindcuber.com/ on YouTube, and she wanted it badly. And we got hooked. Alright, I got hooked :) More photos at http://ufnalski.edu.pl/python_projects/lego_ev3/photos/ballbot/ . Some videos at http://ufnalski.edu.pl/python_projects/lego_ev3/videos/ballbot/ . Dear High Schoolers, I hope that this ultimately proves my point that control engineering is massive fun :)
