Cool. Feature request: mount the pivot on a programmable cart. It'd be fun to write software to balance the double pendulum. e.g. [VIDEO] and, balancing a triple pendulum: [LINK]

Read original comment ↗N1 designers did not have good computers. Chaotic behavior does not mean that system is impossible to control (e.g. double pendulum [VIDEO] ).
