Believe me when I say this, because I'm trying to be sincere:

I really hope the team understood the engineering and design considerations behind a Chain-in-tube setup We're doing a custom 10WD with Center-Center Chain-In-Tube, and we've already replaced both rails on our competition bot (one had a failure, and we just decided to replace the other while we were at it) during our unbag time this week. We're part of the reason Vex is out of stock of #25 16T sprockets, because we must've ordered 80 of them so that we could have enough for 2 robots, and 2 entire sets of rails to swap on the fly during competition. The Chain-in-tube is a beautiful work of engineering, and when it's designed properly it protects you from chain breaks. Even one forgotten spacer can leave you dead on the field, and were it not for our frame dimensions allowing us to run some chain outside of the tube, we may have had a rough saturday morning at the Columbus event. I really hope they put in the same consideration and effort into making spares and are ready to replace them when needed; especially in a game like FIRST Stronghold.
