Re: Plastic Roller Chain

If you are not using it for high torque areas of your robot than it should be fine. The HS chain from VEX has a tensile strength of 50 lbs.


It should not have broken for an 8-1 reduction seeing as you could lift your VEX robot with it - X2

Our prototype is all VEX, it worked fine even with the window motor installed.
