Grubbing for more NXT models...

Menno Gorter, another member of the MDP, has designed very novel NXT-based robot. Take a look at his new additions to his Brickshelf gallery. It clearly uses a lot of the double-bent liftarms, but it looks like a really interesting solution (and it looks very, well... grub-like!). Well done, Menno!

Looks great!

I wonder if it's really able to move.
Is there any movie available yet?

Well, no reply from Menno via email. If someone talks to him, please let him know I'm requesting a CAD file of Grub for the MindStorms site. If he cannot render it I can do it for him if he provides a lot of photos.

Quite beautiful. Makes me glad I just recently ebayed a bunch of conveyor/treads. I dont know if I would have the patience to find that many of one piece. (reason why I'm organizing them I guess).
Truely well done - That one climbs right out of the perverbial "[BOX]"
How does it turn? I would imaginet hat some body flex is possible to arc into a turnning shape but alas I dont see a 2nd servo.
Also is it my imagination or did the US sensor become a bumper by hooking its boom onto a Touch sensor?
Can anyone ID the pieces being used to join the Double Bend tread pieces?
Again Grub is Food for Thought.
