Why not just get another sprocket for the Banebots output?

Looking at the picture, it looks like they took that route for the easy tensioning abilities and ludicrous amounts of chain wrap around each sprocket. (I'm also willing to bet that the added chain is lighter than adding another sprocket into the mix.) I dig it.

Re: pic: 2106 drivetrain (side)
Thanks Alex, we had a blast! I'm so ready for next January.
As for the lack of a second drive sprocket, AS Bill said, i love the idea of a lot of wrap on the gears and it made tensioning easy. I was also cautioned about having too many individual chains on a drive train. The less you have the less likely it is to fail. This little drive train served us well. I have plans to make a summer project out of improving this design for next year. Maybe just 1 chain per side?
