This year we used #25 drive chain with no tensioners and have had no problems.
The bot still has the same chains since the mid february assembly date.

Doing this would require exact spacing on the drive axles, which means the drive train (including chain runs) is done in CAD. I only learned CAD last August, but was able to CAD most everything on our '08 bot in Solidworks. The one thing I didn't have time for was wiring and chains. Could anyone direct me to a short tutorial on how to properly make the chain and mate it in Solidworks?
