Re: Best Drivetrain
My $0.02:
For a rookie stick with a #35 chain drive. Its far more forgiving than #25. The weight savings isn't worth the tolerance hassles or the effort to get sprockets that aren't from the KOP.
If the point of asking the question is to save labor so the rookies can focus on other mechanisms then the kitbot is the best way to go. It works and is solidly reliable and doesn't take long to build freeing your team to focus on make other parts for the robot, isn't that why we got the kitbot in 2005?
