Go to Post if you want to repay us for the omni-wheels, use the money to help out a few rookie teams next year. Buy them batteries or help build them bumpers, anything you see fit will be much better than cash back to us. - AllenGregoryIV [more]

Direct drive or Chain?

Our team, tem 599 is debating whether or not to use chain drive or direct drive with four motors. We have heard that chain drive is more forgiving (in terms of strain on the motors) than direct on the motors, but direct drive may be faster. We had some principal concerns with both:
For chain drive:
1. Clearance
2. Are chains really worth all the trouble?
For direct drive:
1. Can we make sure that the motors run at the same speed?
2. If not, how close can we make it?
3. Does it really matter?
