Frikkin' Physics Project - Help! (Sorta Urgent)

Thanks for your order… sucker! :wink:

since it’s still in Beta, have u sent your suggestion to them?

i don’t think u can truly accuse john of ‘giving Darchibald a hard time’
john simply pointed out some home truths and did so with a sense of humour
nobody got given a hard time
except Darchibald giving Darchibald a hard time by leaving it till now…

It wasn’t really as hard a time as I expected. I’m almost done all the content I just have to put it on a computer. Its really easy to just blab on and on about uni. But I tried not too. I am still wondering if someone could tell me about balancing laterally. Like side to side as opposed to back and forth(go that covered). It isn’t making too much sense to me. Is it basically the same as back and forth balancing? Thanks in advance.

PS. Klaas Bill, do you mind if I use a diagram like yours? The centre of gravity up and down hill one. I drew one myself and will draw another but there isn’t too much to differentiate so they are going to look a lot alike.

I think it is covered in the links that have been mentioned on this
thread. Basically, if you’re tending to fall to the left, you turn the
uni around a (semi) vertical axis to the left. Then the wheel veers
somewhat to the left and so the tyre contact patch stays under your
centre of gravity. Ergo: you don’t fall.
