Presuming you're talking about #25 chain, yes. #25 chain has a 1/4" chain pitch, and #35 has a 3/8" chain pitch. A chain with a regular master link (or made with a high-end tool that needs no master link) between two sprockets with the same even number of teeth should have a separation that is an integer multiple of the chain pitch. Between two sprockets with same odd number of teeth, this becomes an odd multiple of half the chain pitch, or a multiple of the chain pitch with a half link. Well, for equal even-toothed sprockets you could use an odd multiple of a quarter of the chain pitch
and a half link, but why would you want to make your robot more complicated twice?
And you aren't going to fit #35 chain inside of 2" Versaframe using any sprockets I've seen; they would require a very tight bend of the chain.
