Gears or chain and sprockets?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of gears or chain and sprockets. I cant really tell any difference between them except that chains break quite easily.

So, in terms of driving or lifting a heavy manipulator, what are the advantages and disadvantages of both, and which one is better from your investigation?
