Go to Post The great thing about autonomous mode is that it doesn't require any additional effort from anyone else on your team... (You could do that yourself...but I've noticed that people will usually offer to do it for you, rather than let the programmer touch power tools.) - jgannon [more]

Re: pic: TEAM 379 DRIVE TEASER, THE ROBOCATS

Warning about using the torsion springs from the large CIMs as tensioners. 116 had an iteration of our drive last year that used them, and apparently they are not as strong as we would initially believe. As the robot drove at high speeds, the spring would loosen, essentially to the point where they weren't even tensioning the chain at all. Once or twice our chain even popped off. Thus why the final iteration didn't use them.
Your mileage may vary.
