We never had a single problem with this chain set up at all this year, but just in case, tension was checked before each match and we color coded all the master links for very quick access in case of emergency. Attached are pictures of the front and back wheels. Ignore the little bit of damage to the back wheel, that post next to it took a very big hit. Can you say two robots accidentally backed up full speed into each other? And just for clarification, the back wheel is the smaller wheel.
