i'm in a lot of trouble right now. i have a basic idea here but everything from the coding to which sensor to select, im very confused. the working of the bot is that of a segway i.e inverted pendulum.

im hoping to connect a 9 dof sensor to the pi (clueless on how) and have a code running in the pi (have no idea about the code since im a no vice in coding) and have the motors run using a h-bridge setup. the basic block diagram is attached. the robot will also have a camera (raspberry pi camera) which will stream videos vai wifi dongle to my laptop ( or so i hope). lets just say i was counting on this person from college but turns out he's more clueless than me. please help !!! image

    guys i have a problem. ill have to use a separate PIC and design a board around it and connect it to the pi. my teacher wont allow me to use a ready made board like the chipkit pi. which i believe is a huge bummer image ill have to first try this and only if i end up with a problem can i opt the chipkit. thank you Mr.Douglas and Mr.Peter for the help. i'd be more than happy if you guys could help me in the future too with suggestions and such. what i need right now is probably a " raspberry pi based balancing surveillance robot for dummies"  image
