Cut the front wheels off of the Spine Robot and removed 7" section of frame.

Welded them back on. 4 hours per side including underneath in position.

Crazy setup for boring the tapped hole in the front wheel assembly. Horizontal spindle on the Maho MH600E.

Another view of the setup.

The new front bar

Installed. The chain runs behind the bar instead of in front. Now the Spine Robot Arm can swing back and forth without banging into the bar and can grab stuff on the ground in front of it easier. Also, the bar is much heavier

Side view showing the extra clearance.

Crazy chain routing.
