- Good Question!
  The iBot is based on Segway technology as invented by the incredible Dean Kamen. It's actually called the iBot 3000 or something, which, of course, sounds much cooler.
  
  I think the "i" could possibly be a nod to Independence Technologies, the makers, but I don't know for sure. Maybe I'll ask.

Voting
Hi-- I don't get feedback that my vote has been accepted. Should there be anything? Good for you for doing this. I found your blog when googling iBot-- my quad friend wants to buy one too. Good luck to you!

RANKING
Hey people, I know the video isn't 35mm Industrial Light and Magic quality, (I was the camera crew). It's the content that's cool. Please rank 3.0 or higher!
