Re: #25 Chain

Personally, I like to overbuild everything. I don't like things breaking, and the degree to which I overbuild is directly proportional to how critical it is for success. The drive train is probably the most critical part of the robot for success. I would never use less than #35 chain for a drive train. Then again, since we made the switch a couple of years ago I'll jump through hoops to avoid using chain at all on the drive train - direct drive all the way!
