We've done that. It worked since the load wasn't that bad, until the robot accidentally tried to lift itself using its arm. When that happened, the (steel) sprocket broke into three pieces. To fix it problem a 1/4 in. polycarbonate plate was zip-tied onto the arm so that it would slide off of the pegs rather than catching on them (the added benefit was faster scoring since it was easier to release tubes and turn back for more).
