Re: chains

32? Do you mean 35?

The two types of chain I've seen used in FIRST are #25 and #35. It all comes down to personal preference, I think. #25 is strong enough for most drive systems, and when you factor in the weight loss from sprockets and chain, it becomes very appealing.

My team has used #35 the last 5 years or so since we have a ton of it, and it gives us a big strength safety zone
