Re: Chain Tensioning

Well a big question we (me and Rion) had about using this kind of tensioner, was why don't teams use spring tensioners on their drive chains (chains that run drive wheels)? Ive seen one or two used on random chains that drove mechanisms on robots, but never a spring tensioner on a drivetrain. Could anyone explain why this is?
