Pole Balancer

In this mode, the pole balancer allows the user to try to balance the pole with the mouse. To move the cart, simply click and drag the mouse to the left or right to apply a force in that direction.

You need a Java enabled brower to view this example.

Click in the applet window and press spacebar to reset the pole with the centered state, or enter to restart pole in another random state. To move the cart, simply click the mouse and drag within the applet window. Alternatively, the left and right arrow keys can be used to apply a force in that direction.
