Re: Sheet Metal vs KitBot

Thanks for pointing this out. As a FIRST newbie, I was extremely impressed by the quality and versatility of the kit chassis and drive train. It is a beautiful piece of engineering.

Team 3504 did something similar to "kit chassis on steroids" this year, but we had complications with chain tensioning system. In the video, it looks like the chain lengths just worked out without the need for extra tensioning, but that is not how it worked out for us. Is there a certain sprocket size you need to use? Is there some other trick we missed?

Thanks,
-George
