It's actually a cheat, since light sensors aren't as noisy as gyros, and you typically need to combine gyros with an accelerometer (merged with a Kalman filter) in order to achieve good balance. Also, the light sensor approach limits this bot to perfectly flat surfaces.<br><br>And you have a typo: "it's relative distance" -- > "its relative distance" I wouldn't describe using light sensors instead of gyros as “really cool”.
