Lack of regular lubrication is one of the most common causes of trouble for many FRC teams. Anything that can make it faster and easier to do makes it more likely to get done. We keep a small paint brush in a ziplock bag with our lube supplies. It is great for re-coating drivetrain chains with a light coat of chain oil. While running the drive very slowly, hold the oily brush (not dripping, just moist) on the chain in a stationary spot (in an open span away from sprockets and pinch points) and you can lightly and evenly lube the chain in just seconds.
