Sorry...no pics.
Yea, we tested with chains a few times in different orientations but it just wasn't strong enough. Right now our robot pushes around 30 lbs on carpet with hardly any weight on the robot itself. Also, we've been looking at 2 speed transmissions b/c we have the power but we definitely need more speed for this game. And we began focusing on the end effector.
