Re: Chain Drive Question

Cheesy Poofs had a little rubber chain tensioner last year, though I have no clue what it was actually called (I believe they ordered it from McMaster?)

Basically you would squeeze it in and stick it in the chain. As the chain loosened, it expanded and tensioned it. I am not quite sure how well this worked, but I did hear them say that it never fell off their robot. Try asking them at nats what it was exactly.
