I don't recall having to take a gearbox apart to change belts or chains on a traditional drive train. Robot chassis, but not the gearbox. Then again, I have seen drive trains which were described as WC which had easily replaceable chains, and others where it was apparently impossible in an FRC pit period - or six. I would list this more as a "gotcha" of too-well protected chain and belt, not a WC feature per se.
