The BalanceBot’s balancing act is very impressive due to how tricky it is. Riding on two wheels isn’t its only trick, though: it has facial recognition software attached to a Pi camera, so it can react to the people around it using slightly odd cut-outs of Kris’s facial features. It’s a work in progress, but what he’s managed to do so far has really impressed us!
