Maybe a bit late, but when you ave only 1 NXT2.0 set, it can be made right. I mean there are a lot of extra parts needed, but not more than 3 servo's and I can't see any sensors being used. Love this model and 'your stick' (doesn't that sound strange...) and not to forget X-2...
@TheLexhoya Hi, there are just three servos used in this. So it could be built using a Nxt2.0. BUT the NXT 2.0 or 1.0 has not near enough gears to reproduce this. No sensors are used, its all mechanical(like alot of my stuff). Each gripper uses a servo each, but the main bodys articulations, there are two only one motor used for both. When i built this it was on the edge of waht that design could handle. If you built this with my latest design of X2s joints it would be 4x powerfull.
how can the servos lift the weight like that? Especially when the entire things is horizontal. I can never get the servos to support that much weight like that. Is it the gears? Or have u programed the motor to be a low percentage of power?
Alot of gear reduction, the pinion gears to the large turntables are using the axle Long with stop as well this makes one side of them with lttle flex. Programming the motor to have less % of power will make them hve less power, so they must be at 100%. this is about at the limit of plastic gears ability before the explode.
Wow, I had the same immediate thought as Jeremyc56 when I saw this! Must be very stressful on it and not how I would have designed it at all but you did it and made it work! Kudos for a very original working design! :)
the weight of NXT is rather heavy, to keep the lifting in a torque happy area its going to be slow. The knocking sound is our parrot, he gets a bit wild when anything NXT is in his living room:)
Great job!

Y not just make it shimmy up?

Though i did not take this to the next step: the plan was too be able to change to a horizontal plain after it went up the virtical.

how many batteries do you use workin on someting like that? love ur creations they have really inspired me thanks
llamapie24 2 years ago
All NXT run on 6aa Battery's. But in this case I used 6 E2 Lith. they are half the weight off regular recharged type. Helps keep the weight down

Looks great!, is it on batteries or it has its own energy adapter?

i agree with some bugs lol but i think you should make the twisting motion faster and the clamping motion is fine
