No, it's very easy and inexpensive to balance that robot at this point for Segway. They've already solved those problems, it's a natural extension to use their existing technology for stabilizing the robot. Further, it's not an option to not stabilize the whole robot, you have to or the whole concept implodes. Put another way, they were going down that road regardless.

They still have the problem of falling over when the battery dies.
