Please use a chain tensioner, or at the very least purchase an offset link from McMaster-Carr (cheap since you only need one).

We're not that worried about it. The jack lift on our 2005 bot still works perfectly and we've ran that thing every week or since 2005 and the jack lift for that bot shakes the motor a lot more violently then 2007. The only thing we're worried about on the 2007 bot's jack lift is the gear tooth sensor. OUr biggest worry on our bot I would say would have to be the ramp(the decision to get rid of it or not). My opinion would to be get rid of it because the angle for the alliance bot to get up is way too steep but we'll see on the practice day, we haven't officially tested it with the friction tape on it.
