Admittedly, the ever popular RCX chimney climber was extremely slow. To compensate, here’s a quick version that will travel the same distance in only a few seconds. Still, this robot is equally unstable as its predecessor, because of its badly placed center of gravity.

Every time I created a new climber, I tried to tackle a new design challenge, to make the robots faster, stronger, more stable and smarter. Follow the links below, and read the pages in order to learn about my findings in the design process.
- Chimney Climber: August 2006 (original design)
- NeXT Chimney Climber: February 2007 (faster)
- Self Stabilizing Chimney Climber: August 2008 (more stable and smarter)
- Compact Chimney Climber: July 2009 (NXT 2.0 Only)
It is could be easy for us if there could be building instructions available even for neXT Chimney climber
