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

[222Doc]

@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.

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

[222Doc]

@Zblj1987 yes it did, programmimg error.

@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.

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.
