Re: Can't finish drivetrain?
One thing that teams should be careful of when putting chain on their robot is to not OVER tighten it. After doing chain for my team for a few years I found its okay to have just a little bit of slack in it. You will avoid a lot of broken chains if you do this. You should not have to force the two ends of the chain together. Then you can use the mounting bolts for your gearbox to tighten it down a little if need be.
