@RoboLegoMindstormsPL This was very heavy for a Lego bot about 10 pounds. One of the reasons it was slow, had to be geared way down to be able to pull up.
Again a really innovative device... How do you come up with the ideas, then the time and then all the parts? I mean, the X-models are also still in one piece I guess? Envy your ideas and thus insight to build it.
@TheLexhoya I was watching a show on the 3 toed sloth. That gave me the idea, I was working on arms for X and i thought , this robot is slow, has three fingers and if the feet had three fingers it would be a "three toed sloth". More of a distraction in the end to my bipial work.
@hempseeds It is preprogrammed so it is autnomous. since the rungs are 1 foot on center its all just movements programmed for a known space. It could be R/c but man that would be alot of sticks to opperate since this is 12dof.
wow amazing creation and pretty good speed per step! I have a question regarding batt packs, besides the NXT batteries, how where the 3 NXT MUX and 1 RCX MUX (for the PF motors) powered?.. all on only 6 other batteries or more?
@bazmarc Yes the Mux's are all powered by the extra 6aa's battery pack in the belly. It does use then up rather fast though. The power pack is from Mindsensors too. 12 battery's total.
@MennoGorter LOL yea that ladder would be a pain to use. The rungs are building standard 1 foot on center to simulate a real ladder in reach. This is all programed in static movment. I wonder how one could even do all sensors with this in Lego. Loads change as the angles goes overhanging shifting back and forth/up.down. It had a 70k program at first, that i reduced to about45k. Nxtg crashed more times than i can count. I was a mainly. lets see if it can be done at all again moment.
@Scerab yes it has fallen, no real damage but it looked very bad. The worst was when a low battery state caused the program to act iradicaly. The hands cut loose at the top, it flipped backwards and hit the lower rung at the center of its mass splitting it in two, then the feet cut loose and Sloth was a pile of parts on the floor. broke a few connector pins. This was the day before this video was filmed.
That is amazing! It even has the sloth body :) What did you program it in?

A cool robot, was probably difficult in programming. I wonder how heavy this robot.

This is really epic! You did a great job mecahnaicaly and in programming! Did it ever fell down?

@Zblj1987 yes it did, programmimg error.

is this thing autonomous or do you have to control it?

What an extreme idea!
I would never came up with that...
( Since I don't have such a ladder in my neighborhood. :-) )
Is it preprogrammed or remote controlled ?
( I don't see sensors detecting the ladder. )
