    @PNS your pedal is still going to hit the stair. I wonder what the top speed of those star wheels are and how hard they wear down the tips.

    Back when Dean Kamen invented the Segway, he also invented a sister product that was a new kind of wheelchair that could automatically climb stairs. You never hear about it but it's still out there being made

      IBOT
      The iBOT is a powered wheelchair that uses gyroscopic technology to provide multiple operating modes for varied indoor and outdoor terrain. The current version, the iBOT® PMD, has been manufactured by Mobius Mobility since 2019. The device was developed by Dean Kamen’s DEKA Research & Development Corp. in partnership with Johnson & Johnson's Independence Technology division. Early versions were produced by Independence Technology from 2003 to 2009. Description The iBOT uses gyroscopic technology together with four powered drive wheels and two caster wheels to provide several distinct driving modes. In its 4-wheel mode, it has only the four drive wheels on the ground, enabling it to handle outdoor terrain such as curbs, sand, and snow. In its standard mode, it has two of the drive wheels plus the caster wheels on the ground, and functions as a conventional rear-wheel-drive powered wheelchair. Additional modes include balance mode, which raises a user to eye-level height by balancing on two drive wheels, and stair mode, which enables a trained user to ascend and descend stairs...
