2009 KOP sprocket issues
After some searching, I have not been able to find the problem my team has had this year: our KOP sprockets seem to be incorrectly spaced. I can hear some of the CD members saying, "what the heck does that mean?" Here's what I mean: If you try and wrap a chain around the sprocket, the tooth will hit the roller of the chain every 5-6 teeth. The alignment is correct and the tension is fine. We replaced the sprockets with the sprockets we used last year (AndyMark 26's) and it has worked fine. Is anyone else having the same issues, or are we doing something wrong?

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
