Kitbot Chain Tensioner 1
This is a chain tensioner on the kitbot from our 2005 robot. It is adjustable with a wrench and prevents us from having to design a wheel sliding scheme for chain tensioning.

Great idea!
Have you had any problems with the chain skipping off from under your idler?

Looks familiar 
Ours were a little bulkier though, they probably weigh a pound each

It is #25 chain, we've been using it the past few years to help save weight without a problem. We use one chain to power all 3 wheels on a side, so we only need one of these tensioners rather than 2 for 2 seperate chain sections.
