Re: Position idlers to get better chain wrap -- a question about good practices.
ok so i had a quick question... with te tough boxes we recieved a sprocket that fits perfectly ont the box... however the output sprocket is at least 2x the size of the input... so... for every rotation in the tough box we get .5 on the actual wheel...for a 1st year team we are trying to get a drivable robot thatd be a decent accomplishment in out eyes... and we are working towards that but a faster driving robot would be nice...

and my second question is actually relevant to this forum... where do you get idlers... and any ideas on mounting them?
