Joe,

I agree with Philip. Last year we got 20ft of regular and 10ft of track chain. Can we get a little more chain added to the additional HW list?

Since we are not allowed to use gears or make our own sprockets, it is difficult enough to get the right drive ratios.

Actually, can we make our own spockets out of legal additional HW materials?

Raul

: After doing some math when trying to figure up some gear ratios, I found that chain is of the essence when designing the robot this year. If four of the extra large sprockets were used, almost all of the chain would be used to just wrap around the sprockets. Leaving very little chain to use for gearing down or for other applications on the robot. Is it possible the amount of chain that can be used could be upgraded by a few feet? If not, does anyone know how to conserve enough chain to get the correct gear ratio?
