@EZ Robot.... I know you don't have a control for it yet so I am going by the picture of it in the store only. I think I have a pretty good idea of how it works... However, I was wondering if the inverted pendulum can be adapted to drive another type of motor controller in addition to the 360 servo?.... I have been using those cheap Vex $10 motor controllers in various projects and they work great with the same servo commands that can drive the 360 servos.... So I am thinking that if the inverted pendulum could drive those Vex controllers I would be able to build a larger balancing bot with DC gear motors instead of 360 servos....
Upgrade to ARC Pro

The control doesn't exist yet because it's in r&d stage on my laptop. I have been hoping to get a free minute to post a video. In summary it works like this... you specify the alignment of the sensor, then there are a few variables regarding the weight and speed of the object and it's motors. Once you've tweaked the values, the robot will balance like a Segway.
It'll work with HBridge and PWM/Servos - so yeah, it'll work with your custom robot. Long as your motors have enough torque and speed to maintain the weight balance.
@Richard, man that will be the coolest inmoov ever!
wow thats great,thanks
