Re: Anyone Thought of This?

Two things on this--One is your tranny-to-wheel setup. The only thing I can say is: You're pushing it. Be prepared to use the split setup, but test your robot hard ASAP to make sure. Two, using #35 on the back is OK, but using a lighter chain (say, #25) in front is iffy. We've had bad experience and now use it only for prototyping, if at all. You may be able to get away with it though. Once again--TEST! Don't wait until Thursday at L.A. to find out that something doesn't work.
