Perhaps we could attach your final product to this one, my latest acquisition (I've graduated to the big leagues now )

It's a great time to be alive, isn't it?
This is a real world demonstration of the PID (Proportional, Integral, Differential) control system I talked about earlier (you know; the ball rolling around on the plastic table.)
Since it's a TED talk, it's a bit long. But well worth it.
