Re: Chain Tensioners

We had to do the same thing. We took the cheap and simple approach. We put a nylon washer on both sides of a nylon spacer and slipped it all over a bolt. The bolt then just bolted through a hole in our frame. We are using two of these nylon spacer contraptions on each of our loose chains. It's really sturdy, and gives our robot a nice growling sound when we fire it up at full speed.
