Belts vs. Chains - Chief Delphi

I haven't been negative about any FIRST game yet, but scaling and cleaning fish in 2009 that were used in 2008 is going to stink. Literally. :P - Billfred [more]

Re: Belts vs. Chains

Has anyone actually broken a chain on a drive system before? I've never heard of something like this and would think it'd be very difficult to do on a FIRST robot, even if you're only using #25 chain.

Is there anything special to watch out for or particular situations to avoid when designing a chain system to prevent the chain from breaking? What kind of situation in a match would cause this?
