Re: help! is this bad?

On our bot we've got the third bearing on the inside of the sprockets (meaning closer to the center of the bot). I think it is a good idea to have a bearing on either side of the sprocket cause it can decrease axle wobble and keep tension for the chain. A chain drive can have a tendency to tug on the axle quite a bit. But it might be ok if the sprocket is quite close to the outer bearings. Hope this is what you mean.
