Re: #25 Chain

At first blush, it seems that #25 chain should be able to provide more torque to the wheels than traction from the carpet (unless you are using teeny tiny sprockets) BUT, with drive systems, I don't mess around. There is nothing that lowers your draft potential as fast as driving in circles for a match because your robot threw a chain.

I recommend #35 chain unless you are completely painted into a corner and there is just no way to make it work.

YMMV.
