Wireless PlayStation 2 Controlled Electric Mountainboard

I first started working on this project in November 2009 when I tried to figure out how to get around campus without having to push myself on a skateboard.  After months of researching and designing, I resolved to start the project because I wanted it to result in a real product rather than a jumble of ideas.  I began assembling the project in  February 2010 and got it working just in time to demo at Engineering Open House on March 10th, 2010.

Here's a video of my board in action:

I also created a page that goes in great depth answering the questions many people ask me about the project, featuring it on Instructables.com:
