  5. GAP between Existing and Required Nothing exists that is “Hands Free” Single-Link vs. Multi-Link Pendulum Labor Intensive riding Unstable 1 wheeled – Low speed turns/idle 3 wheeled – High speed turns Small scale Can not physically carry humans, heavy loads or push/pull 20+lbs. Not designed for Human riders Specifically for Robot Experimentation
