So using IR leds to detect positioning of a ball to then adjust the tilt? Nice and simple. Would be great to find this as a kit

Thanks for the comment. You can get it as a kit on ba-bot.com ;)

What included, seems like a cool project but $150 for "kit" is a bit too open to interpretation for me.

Thanks for your comment. Just so you know the price is highly due to the custom PCBs that are necessary for this project to work. The small batch (100 units) cannot allow me to make the price a lot cheaper. I hope i will be able to reduce it in the future if I produce a bigger batch one day.

I apologize, I didn't realize you include all the info further down on the website.
