I know that unless I'm having DIRE weight problems, I'll probably use #35 for drive, simply because I like how forgiving it is, should a misallignment occur.
Depends on how much I want to toe the line...

This has certainly been an educational exchange...
Good luck to Stang in 2004 (and all those other points from your list too ).

I can second this. Artur Ostrowski is the lead engineer and the brain behind the brawn for team #469. I work with Art. He is possibly the best engineer I know both in terms of theoretical engineering understanding and in just plain engineering "feel."

Bottom line: Art tells me that he plans on using #35 chain in any future drive train.

Again, this is not to say that those who use #25 chain are silly or wrong or whatever. Rather, this is just to emphasize that there are a lot of things to balance in ANY decision on a robot design and that a few of us have weighted the various sides of the chain size debate and decided that #35 is the best choice for us.

As always, your mileage may vary...
