Jibril
I've fixed the drive issue with a M4 bolts so when a nut is applied on the end, no more drive issues in theory (new nuts were also fitted to the U Bolt to prevent it coming off again and losing the mesh). I've also freed up the Scythe from the twisted shaft and I am currently writing this as I am taking a break from it. Working on your own on a MW is hard work.

Having finally seen a video of the robot in action at Maidstone, I am pleased to report that the Scythe fired twice before the mild steel shaft twisted. This gives me hope the much stiffer Grade 5 Titanium rod and collets set up will be more reliable come the MW championship. Heck, I might even find time to paint the exposed metal again so it looks just that little bit more respectable. :P

The 2.0 version of Jibril has had it's CAD designs sent off to get priced up. I've decided to simplify the robot and gone with a 10.7:1 MOD 2 single stage reduction gearbox arrangement for the Scythe this time. The drive has also been redesigned to use a 5:1 arrangement with 80mm soft polyurethane wheels this time to hopefully provide better traction and driveabilty. Pretty much set on revealing this version at EXR Portsmouth next year.
