How will you be able to tighten the chain?

We set up our prototype this way to give our drivers a feel for tank drive. The chain will stretch with usage, so you will need some way to re-tention or you'll be throwing the chain.

The team has decided on 4WD/4 motors with gear boxes and tention the chain with the mounting angle (Gearbox Bracket - PN: am-0204) that have the long holes to allow the adjustment.
