Hi guys, so I'm not sure which forum this should go to so I decided to put it here. This is our first year to make a west coast drive system, and from testing it at our BunnyBot game, it has proved to be fantastic. However, for the build season, I'd like to make more improvements to it and would like opinions and how to's.

The drive base is based off Team 221's super light chassis with our own holes to mount the transmissions. For our competition robot, we are probably going to use their supershifter adapters as well.

These are the things I'm looking forward to change:
1. I'd like the chains to be on the inside rather than the outside of the frame. However, I'm not sure how to put the sprockets inside the supershifter adapter.
2. If we are unable to place chains on the outside, how would we mount the bumpers?

Any other comments and suggestions are welcome.

This is our current frame design:
