Watch This Freaky Gyro Cube Balance Perfectly, Defying Gravity

There's a video at the link.

"Once the Cubli has almost reached the corner stand up position, controlled motor torques are applied to make it balance on its corner,” we’re told. You can change the angle of the surface it’s on, give the balancing wonder a gentle push to the side, or send it spinning like a top, and still, the devil cube retains its balletic poise.

Sweet. The balancing is pretty cool however the "jumping up" first to its side then to the corner is where it get's really fun to watch.
