Well, I tried to frame the chain gearing from this past year's bot. The idea was to have all the pieces accessible so if our crab drive got mauled we could (in between a match) convert it to something 90% similar to this past year's skid steer system. You'll notice the small sprocket on the motor going to the 45t sprocket, and the 10t to 10t from the base. The second gearing is done at the wheel assembly level. The small drive sprocket at the top axle goes to a 40t drive sprocket on the wheel.

Anyway, the design has kept with this for our emergency backup plan. It's always a good idea to have an exit...
