: Anyone on Chief Delphi want to give me a clue how you machine those nice big sprockets on your robot for the 1/4" and 3/8" chain? Very impressive!

One trick we used this year we got from the Beatty/Hommond team.
If you don't need more than ~270 degrees of rotation on the large sproket you really don't need to make the teeth. Just wrap the chain around a disk and pin it to the disk in 1 location. The disk will rotate when the chain is moved until the pin location hits the tangent point on the chain.
