Regarding sprockets, my personal favorite supplier for *inexpensive* sprockets is the "Burden Sales Surplus Center" at https://www.surpluscenter.com. With sprocket prices about 25% that of McMaster or MSC, they really can't be beat for teams on a tight budget. The problem I have with getting items from them is that UPS Ground shipping takes quite a few days from their location in Nebraska to our location in New Hampshire. However, with you being in Kansas, standard UPS Ground shipping may only be one day to you!
They usually ship items the day after the order is received, and are great folks to talk to on the phone.
