Those two-wheeled segway things that Dean Kaman
invented would be a great fun to race, eh? That
would be a way cool game! First thing we need to do
is try to hop it up, perhaps work out an internal
combustion engine to replace that wimpy electric
motor. That would present an entirely new and
exciting engineering challenge: how to get some
speed outta those things, and second, how to make
body armor that would make the inevitable crashes
more survivable. Perhaps an inflatable suit, like
a wearable air bag. If your feet leave the platform
you would instantly puff up like the Michelin tire
guy or Faht Bahstid from Austin Powers. Heck that
would be worth the price of a ticket just to watch
those things popping off. spike
