Building a Cyborg Sloth w/ a Folding Electronics Box

Sloxel is going to be a battery-powered, AI-enabled front-door greeter for our house. See how I did the the 3D design and electronics to make him look beautiful and mobile.

That's an interesting project!
With that wobbly motion I expect most visitors to run away rather fast ;)

I would say my experiment with those printed wheels was a failure. I am considering switching to the V-wheel gantry plates used in 3d printers and then used a belted drive on the top two wheels (one reason I did it this way was to drive the wheels directly from the motor shaft, but it clearly wasn't worth the complexity I saved). Anyways thanks for watching!

Did a raccoon get in and kill the toolbox or did the mount just fail? That is just odd either way.

I remember putting that cabinet up years ago and thinking that it was a rather odd mounting design that probably couldn't take a ton of load. Then .. years later I forgot about that and put too much stuff in it. Luckily no serious damage to anything besides a bent Dremel bit
