Did anyone who attended SegwayFest get a chance to ask any of the engineers if the Segway and iBot share any of the same componets?

Shouldn't this help with lowering the price of both products?

Well we know it shares some of the basic technology, but I would think the only components that might be the same would be maybe the gyros and they probably vary quite a bit in programing. I doubt that they share any components. This is just a guess. The iBot is just so awesome in itself

I happen to know for a fact that there is a small, 2-inch green wire that uses copper filament from the same manufacturer as a wire in the ibot.
