PID Balance Bike

CONTROLS

Automatically holds 30kts. Use Ag1 to coast but it automatically holds the most stable speed.

Roll to steer... kind of. It controls the target roll angle within a 40° range. The craft will naturally turn, and don't get scared if the engine revs up and the steering is shaky--just stay in the turn and it will handle everything.





I used high physics and it worked well. Even works for a hill climb, I did it starting at gold prix and then up to the jump zone on that steep section.

    I wish I could let the rotator spin freely and then make adjustments after that — just like a real bike. You can let go of the handles and it will automatically balance itself, for anyone who’s never rode before haha.

    What I can think of is using a free spin rotator, and then turning it with pistons, except there is also springs on the end of the pistons so it has some degree of freedom. But humans can make it completely rigid still, I’m not sure how to work around this.
