Re: pic: Cyber Blue Swerve Chassis - Rear View

Yes. The tensioners are basicaly turnbuckles, with a drilled and flattened end on the screw threads to accept one side of a master link.

We made a dense foam mounting board with four wheel sized slots cut into it so that we could set the chassis onto it for alignment. After the wheels were aligned, we set the chain tension (the tops of the modules have some adjustment) and then used the tensioners on the other side of the sprockets.
