We've always used #35 chain, though we're switching to #25 this year. After our all-steel bot last year, we've learned some things about weight. Switching to aluminum frame and #25 chain instead of steel frame and #35 chain should help in that regard. We basically discovered that our robots of the past were total overkill.
