We also use the Dark Soul Chain Tool for 25 chain, and found an equivalent for 35 chain. We seam the chain outside of the robot, then put the axles and sprockets in with the chain in place.

We have both tools and are using them. the problem is to lock the connecting link - very small parts that need plier and hands but not enough space for the hands... I realized that our problem was the gap between the 2 sheetmetal, we had 5 centimeters gap but in other drivetrains that were posted here I saw a lot more.
