A continuous chain would require the outer ring be a sprocket, instead of just a disk like they have. Sprockets usually aren't easy to make by teams, and finding a COTS one the right size and for a decent price is difficult. They have what looks like about a 20-30 degree deadband, which in this game probably is going to be un-noticeable.
