I wonder if the iBOT would have been able to do it. <BR/><BR/>The other cool thing about the iBOT is that you don't need anyone helping you. I've been on some trails before, and on the beach, but that involved me being carried on someone's back... which I'd rather not do. Especially now that I'm old. It wasn't as bad when I was 20.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464489197254480767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350520886486749739.post-53481460945601324872007-09-25T13:04:00.000-07:002007-09-25T13:04:00.000-07:00I'd like to see the videos, I really miss walking ...I'd like to see the videos, I really miss walking in the woods. We tried a few weeks ago, and even with my daughter pushing me, only made it a few yards in, the trail as too rough (lots of roots and erosion where we were.)<BR/><BR/>Re your old chair ..... it looks like you are sitting on a pillow?Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667354029681674247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350520886486749739.post-10336791238468545562007-09-25T12:04:00.000-07:002007-09-25T12:04:00.000-07:00Hi Richard!I'll let you study it up close and in p...Hi Richard!<BR/><BR/>I'll let you study it up close and in person! I don't understand how it works, but I know your brain can figure out things like that, so maybe you can explain to me how it works!!<BR/><BR/>We'll get together soon - only this time I promise I won't bring my obnoxious dogs. : )Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464489197254480767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350520886486749739.post-64905427729240700822007-09-24T22:13:00.000-07:002007-09-24T22:13:00.000-07:00Shannon -It's really exciting reading about your i...Shannon -<BR/>It's really exciting reading about your iBot, and seeing the video clips. Going up into balance mode, it looks like what it does is that it tilts you back until it's ready to tip over, then in the process of quickly getting itself under you to prevent that from happening, it pops you up high. <BR/>The pic of you in your first chair reminded me of my mom, who had polio in I guess it was 1953 or so when I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade. Her big ole chair is still in the basement. Although she only used it for a few years & was able to walk again, she found a transfer chair to be very convenient in the kitchen; we called it the "rolly chair." She died 2 years ago.<BR/> - RichardUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14911586192095103389noreply@blogger.com
