1. A system for balancing a vehicle, the system comprising:
at least one control moment gyroscope, configured to generate a precession-torque around a precession shaft, for affecting the balancing of the vehicle along a roll axis of the vehicle, having at least one flywheel spinnable in a first direction around a flywheel shaft, said at least one flywheel coupled to a precession shaft; and
at least one stopper device coupled to the precession shaft, operable to lock the precession shaft from rotating around a precession axis that moves along the precession shaft, while said at least one flywheel is still spinning around a spin axis that moves along the flywheel shaft.
