Buy one of these for 25 chain (also available at bike shops if you google enough):

First year using one and it was one of the best things we purchased this year. We had 50+ feet of 25 chain on our robot and only had four master links where our elevator platform connected to the chains. Using lighter chain (25 over 35), no master links, and C-C distances has really make working with chains an easy process and eliminated a lot of my worries in the past two seasons in our mechanisms.
