I am drooling. I hate chains. Just today I had to replace chains four times.... That may have had something to do with the fact that I was riding on the robot, and the wheel mounts really shouldnt even hold 120 pounds, not to mention nearly 300 :D .

So, I know it has been quite some time since this discussion was last updated but I thought I would note the followiing:

1) This drivetrain has been absolutely flawless, both in competition and in post-season stuff.

2) It took tremendous time and effort to make it work, but in the long run it was well worth it.

3) I strongly encourage other teams to use this system in the future. (If you ever have any questions, just e-mail me or Kesich).
