Meet the ACROME myCONTROL ball balancing table kit: a robotic table that can stabilize the ball on it, keeping it from dropping. It has 2 rotational degrees of freedom, with each controlled by an RC servo motor. You will be able to see the position data on a touchscreen display.
The kit comes with an open source software, allowing students to tackle balance problems by creating their own paths and observing ball movements.
