Re: pic: Andymark's New Product

I like the simplicity, but it puts too many things out of control for me, such as the slack between the two sides when the sprockets change directions would be undesireable in my opinion. Our method was swiped from 118 with nice tensioners that just involve tweaking a screw a little tighter. And the chain loops were stable and not whipping around all over the place.

the main reason they wouldn't work to well in our situation is the proximity to victors... so no whippage room was available, kinda cause the swerve drive. We may use them elsewhere though it looks like a solid product, congrats

efficiency wise ball bearing idler sprockets and pulling the drive/driven sprockets to adjust the chain wins vs sliding on plastic
