Sooo, next time any sprocket over about 20 teeth in #35 chain will be Aluminum. Am working with inventor and the Autodesk mechinical now. Just need to get started sooner next year. BTW it was all my fualt for the over wight, The bot strated with steel sprockets and pillow blocks and had to loose them as things got added. With Steel spockets on we never had any issues with chain. I know better now and won't put the team or First in that situation again.
