I just had a go on one of those mini segways, and it seems to me that a chair could just about fit on the top. It would need to be adapted so that the chair arms could tilt the left and right sides.
Just perfect for zooming past the cubicles, down to the coffee pot.-- Ling, Aug 10 2015 Here, I've saved you the trouble of typing "Mini segway" into Google http://www.google.c...0.931.0.kxATedkJh7s [Ling, Aug 10 2015] Davros https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DavrosNot a nice person at all.

<link>-- 8th of 7, Aug 11 2015 This is definitely an idea.
I wonder if the control mechanism would work with a chair bolted on top? Could I, for instance, just sit in the chair while the mini segway kept it perfectly balanced? If I leaned forward to reach across my desk, wouldn't the machine interpret this an instruction to go forward, thereby bisecting me deskally?-- MaxwellBuchanan, Aug 13 2015 Only if your desk has a sharpened steel cutting edge.-- pocmloc, Aug 13 2015 ...and if the executive leans back to put his feet on the table...-- Ling, Aug 13 2015 Well he would get cuts on his ankles or on his shoe-leather, obviously.-- pocmloc, Aug 13 2015 You made my week with that image of "zooming passed the cubicles"...-- pashute, Aug 15 2015 <Link from a comment in Farmer John's Orb-it>.
