Re: [FTC]: Question about the chains
I know it has nothing to do with the original question, but with that wide wheel spacing (front to back) it will make it difficult to turn your robot (not impossible, just difficult) since the wheels have to skid sideways a lot to turn.
This may be an issue since you also show a 1:3 gear ratio (speed up).
Don't be surprized if your motors tend to stall while turning, thus consuming a LOT of battery power.
You robot will be very fast in a straight line, but turning may be a serious issue.
