Re: [FTC]: Folding Chain Mechanism

Jason,
Are you using the chain as a pickup mechanism with the intention of depositing the picked item within the robot? If that is where you are headed, you can use two sprockets at the joint so that the top chain goes over one and the bottom goes over the other. You are limited to the rotation angle (<90) and you will need some variable method of chain tensioning but I think you can do it.
