Just remember, if you use chain, make a tensioning devices. Switching rapidly between going forwards and going backwards creates a bit of slack (don't know the technical term for it), and if you're not paying attention, this slack is going to make the chain fall off.

From expierience, I know that had we made a tension device that would have stopped our chain from falling off right at the start of a key match during nats, we would have done a lot better. So don't disapoint yourselves later on - make a tensioner.
