Wenn er ein ausreichend großes Trägheitsmoment hat, dann müsste es ja gehen.
Man kann ja mit einer Vergrößerung des Trägheitsmoments beginnen und gleichzeitig ergründen wie das Trägheitsmoment und die erforderliche Beschleunigung zusammenhängen.
Ich denke, dass man das große Versuchspendel aus den Artikel auch als starre Installation zur Vergrößerung des Trägheitsmoments auf den Asuro setzen kann (etwas kleiner eben).

Rev 1. This began as an experiment to learn to control an inverted pendulum. I began with a three wheeled robot with a ball-bearing pivot used to attach a 3 foot wooden pole topped with an orange Nerf Ball. The pivot has a low-friction 5k potentiometer used for measuring the tilt angle of the pole. I moved the battery pack over the rear wheel to give more stability. Here is an mpeg movie (10 Meg) of the robot balancing the pole in my office. Here (3.3 Meg) is a shorter version, and here (3.7) is another.

Rev 2. After learning to balance the pole, the robot was re-built as a two-wheel version, with the battery mounted directly above the wheels. The ball-bearing pivot was attached to the bottom of the robot with a short aluminium feeler touching the floor. In this way the robot can sense it's angle to the floor and, assuming the floor is level, to gravity as well. The aluminium feeler has a teflon pad on the end to help it ride over cracks and joints in the floor.
