A little self-balancing experiment

I've been wondering what would happen if I put objects of similar weight onto the footpads of the Onewheel and leveled it, so I tried it out.
I was kind of thinking it would just make up for the difference and remain balanced, but as it turns out, it takes a bit of effort to get it to stay in one place and not take off in the direction of the heavier object:

And I had other things I should've been doing, too. That's how important is was for me to make this useless video for no reason.

@MichaelW I believe it is! If I don't stop doing it so much I might lose my job and marriage over it. I haven't slept right since I got it!
