Chain Tensioning
Okay, I was talking with someone about ways to tension a chain. And one of the things that was brought up was a spring. (Or some kind of potential energy device) Basically you would have a rod mounted on a pivot. you would have a spring attached to one side, and a free floating sprocket on the other. (Or you could use AM chain tensioner if you modified it a little.)
We loved the idea. But that's just it; it is still an idea. We do not know of anything like this every being used on a FIRST robot. We know it has been used before, but it's unknown if it's been used on FIRST robots. Is there a specific reason? Or is it just because no one has tried it?
Thanks
