Re: Anyone Thought of This?

I would also be concerned about the small amount of wrap around the motor sprocket. Another possible way to improve that would be to put an idler sprocket just below the motor output sprocket. You could rout the chain 180° around the motor sprocket then over the top of the idler and around the idler and back to the other wheel sprocket. Maybe you could even use the idler sprocket as the chain tensioner.

Or you could eliminate chain all together.

We have used no chain on our robots since 2003.
