As the robot slides down the snowy mountain we can see an impressive ability to self balance, change direction, and autonomously sense and navigate around race gates.
A gyroscope, four sensors mounted between the skis, and motor position sensors support the lower control of stability and joints.
A simple USB camera and a GPS system allow the robot to gather the necessary input to determine its position and calculate what action it should take next.
