Absolutely!! In fact we only recently dismantled that robot. The only part on that drive system that gave us a problem was the #10 bolts used to bolt those sprockets on, they would break about once a year. Don't be fooled about the #35 nylon sprockets that are available - #35 is usually overkill in many drive systems any ways. We tend to keep using it because you can get away with some misalignments here and there.
We used the nylon sprockets in 06 also... In 07 we went with the Aluminum plate sprockets from AndyMark - you know the ones with the bolt circle pattern already drilled in them. |
