Ok, here we go again. user added image

I change my mind for a lot of things ... user added image

First, i choose another free rig.

Second, I change my loop action ... Now he climbs a ladder.

Here is my progress

Ladder test

And third, I think I will change my sequence storyboard too :headbang:

P.S : If you have like me a boring internet connection, let the animated gif loaded once

very impressive I think the movement of legs and arms is almost perfect. Depending on what sort of motion you are going for e.g. cartoony you could caricature it a little bit more by exagerating the movement.
Only two things, number one I think you get away with since your character is a robot, but he misses a little weight, it doesn't seem as he is actually pulling himself up the ladder. Hard to describe what I mean but you could add a little character by having him struggling.
The other thing is that his body looks a little stiff it could move/bounce a bit more.
Anyway bear in mind that those are just little things, your overall movement is very good

good luck

Things that I have to modify on this loop action (I think) :
Hands => They have to move less. They tremble too much. :rant:
Face => Make a more expressive face user added image

If you see something else, I will be happy to make the modification. user added image
