 If your robot doesn't work, it doesn't matter, because the robot is really meaningless, in the long run. What is the important thing, the reason we're all in FIRST then? To better our understanding of Science and Technology, and hopefully make the world a better place. - Ian W. [more] |

Re: Chain drive vs. cogged belt drive(timing belts)
Were you a high traction pushing robot? If so then you might want to go with #35 chain.
Our team has used #25 chain every year except 2004 and haven't had problems breaking them that I've ever known of (I know we haven't the past 2 years; don't know about before). We've never been a robot with high traction wheels that does a bunch of pushing either though, so I doubt we put as much stress on them as other teams do. |
