Re: Integrated WCD "Warp drive" chassis

Wouldn't it be better to run the chain on the outside over the top, and on the inside on the bottom? Might make it easier to tension, rather than having to get under the robot. And also might avoid any issues with the chain damaging field elements/game pieces?

Oh, and yes, similar things have been made before, Andymark has been selling these for a couple years now.
