Re: pic: 1625 swerve underbelly

awsome stuff, it seems like the the chain can really hold up to almost anything if the stress is taken correctly, machining precisely seems to be key so missalignment doesn't mess you up

I know of several years of using the small chain on things like our 3 stage tower and on our drive train, never really had any problems of the chain breaking except when extreme programming errors occur.

Also, so you guys decided that driving wheels through chain is preferable to just using striaght gears? (makes sense, and I don't disagree, just curious)
