A merry Christmas from me to everyone!

Jibril
So I've not had the chance to work on this as much as I would have liked to over the time I have been off work but I've finally gotten round to decommissioning the 1.x version of the robot. The damage to the machine meant undoing the main pinning bolts was a faff with one of them having to be cut out in the end. However, once done, it was only dealing with the mangled U bolts and done.

So just for a moment, pay respects to the old version of Jibril and its ruined underside panel.

With that out of the way, the drive parts are surprisingly OK. They need new drive shafts, which I'll use 10mm titanium rod but the wheels, gears and motors are fine. The axe parts are not. The gearbox shaft and the output shafts are all bent and will need cutting to get the gears off. The axe motor is "OK" and will go in Azriel and amazingly, all the electronic components seem fine as well though, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I will need to make a new wiring loom.

The next stage is to make a template of where the drive components will go in Jibril 2.0 and then get the base plate cut with the wheel holes. Once again, it is going to be a tight fit but I reckon I'll be OK.

As a finisher, this is a rough idea of what the 2.0 variant looks like with a Scythe mounted on it at the moment. As a rough example, I think it looks pretty neat.
