The Single Leg Testbed (SLT) was a full-scale working prototype for the Ambler configuration. The revolute configuration was changed to a prismatic design in the Ambler. The Single Leg Testbed was able to walk using a nonactuated rail system. Much of the perception and planning software for the Ambler was first tested using the SLT.
