Or for lower resource/teams who do not hold tolerances on spacers in the drivetrain. #35 chain is extremely forgiving, in all my years in FRC I've only built one robot without #35 chain in the drive. It may be old school, but its nice to never have to think about it.
We use Dupont TeflonŽ Lubricant to keep all our chains and gearboxes properly lubricated.
