Each of the wheels has its own chain, run off double sprockets on the Toughboxes. The offset is there to get the sprockets to line up with the one on the gearbox. However, it seems to work just as well to have one somewhat longer chain going around all three sprockets to power each wheel pair, with the wheels in line. Barring anything particularly drastic, we'll probably switch to this setup for the final bot.
