How about a lifesize version of the BristleBot, in place of the standard wheelchair? It could be controlled by leaning toward te direction of motion, I think, or maybe leaning away from direction of motion. Or maybe that would depend on how the bristles were shaped. I bet you could get it to jump curbs if you made the bristles long and strong enough.

       I'm not sure how this would steer, I was thinking something that translated leaning into motion but I guess that would happen anyway with this.

       I suspect this would be a very popular item with the ladies whether you perfected the steering or not...
