Re: Chains

We encountered this too, I think this is where the first couple weeks of design really help. When designing you really have to think about how to get to every part of the robot in case of repair. We simply made all the pieces next to the drive system easily removed. We welded where we knew we would not need touch ups and screwed in where problems would usually occur.
