After watching our 2004 robot go from having tight 35 chain, to 35 chain with around a link and a half of slop in the chain without driving it very much, I would be hesitant to get rid of chain tensioners.
Theoretically it is possible, especially with short chains, but I don't feel comfortable without a chain tensioner.
