	The Balance Wheel
		The seven jewels required are used as follows: one for the balance wheel roller jewel, two jewels for the pallet (or lever), two jewels to restrain the balance wheel, and two cap jewels for the balance wheel staff.
		Cap jewels limit the end shake of the balance wheel, and allow a conical pivot to be used for the balance staff, which minimizes friction and MAXIMIZES the strength of the staff as it eliminates a sharp corner.
		The bimetallic balance wheel is made of two strips of metal, brass on the outside and steel on the inside.

	The Balance Wheel of a Watch - TimeZone
		Having swung to a fully clockwise position, the balance wheel has "wound" the balance spring, and it is the force of the spring unwinding that reverses the direction of and propels the balance in the opposite direction, to the fully counter-clockwise position.
		A compensation balance compensates for the effects of temperature on the balance spring (and does not, in contrast to common opinion, compensate for temperature effects on the wheel itself).
		As a result, balance wheels are sometimes deliberately put out of poise to compensate for (non-temperature) errors introduced by the spring attachments (inner and outer) or spring overcoil (the last, top curve of the spring before attachment to the stud on the balance bridge).

		I think that a good case can be made that two wheel balance does have some practical advantages, as well as serving the end as a learning experience of an intermediate step towards bi-pedal walking robots.
		The other robots I've built, and most of the ones in the DPRG and SRS that I have seen, are three wheel robots, with two drive wheels in a differential steering arrangement, and a castering tailwheel.
		The three wheel design gets its stability by dividing the platform weight between the main drive wheels and the tail wheel or skid or whatever.

		On my new Fly, when the balance wheel is adjusted, it's so far forward from the slot cut into the backplate that you can't see it, let alone adjust it.
		What has added to my confusion is the manual shows the balance wheel at the back in every picture but mine is at the front, pushing against the bracket that holds spring.
		The wheel has to be turned in the opposite direction until it pushes against the back, and then turned to raise the spring.

		The computer has analyzed the parameters and tells us that the amplitude of the balance wheel in this watch is 207 degrees.
