A very low-cost balancing robot with DC motors: first working prototype, and some issues

A friend designed this very nice frame, with DC motors instead of stepper motors. The motor will be powered by a single lithium 18650 cell. These choices enable a very low cost design, but bring some challenges. In this video, I discuss some of the challenges and potential solutions for them.
