Lego, Raspberry and Python Project - Reaction Wheel Inverted Pendulum

Single axis self-balancing reaction wheel inverted pendulum.
This thing is inherently unstable and a common challenge in control theory.
The mechanical structure is built using only Lego parts.
Motor is also Lego. Angle sensor and electronics are not Lego.
Enjoy!
