Re: Standard vs. Custom Frame

For those of you looking for good chain tensioning for the kitbot, I finally got pictures up of what we've used the past 2 years.

With them we've only lost 1 chain the past 2 years (and this was due to another robot hitting our sprocket, bending it at a 90 degree angle, and thus popping the chain off). They are relatively easy to add and can be attached pretty much anyway along the length of the wheel track.
