Balancing sums of random vectors

We study a higher-dimensional 'balls-into-bins' problem. An infinite sequence of i.i.d. random vectors is revealed to us one vector at a time, and we are required to partition these vectors into a fixed number of bins in such a way as to keep the sums of the vectors in the different bins close together; how close can we keep these sums almost surely? This question, our primary focus in this paper, is closely related to the classical problem of partitioning a sequence of vectors into balanced subsequences, in addition to having applications to some problems in computer science.
