Re: Questions about first time trying 6WD.
Team 975 has never has a drivetrain failure or thrown a chain on any of the previous four chain drive robots we've built. All used #35 chain. Only one was 4 wheel drive, though this year's bot will also be 4WD. Alignment, tensioning and short chain runs with proper sprocket sizing and tooth contact should prevent chain loss. 6WD just makes it more complex.
