Re: Best Drivetrain

2008:
Most beautiful drivetrains: 254/968, 1251, and 1538 from what I saw. They all proved to be very functional also.

Holy Cows, 1251 and 254/968 build the most beautiful machines year after year.

As for the debate on chain size, a lot of teams commented about ours after observing our robot this year.
We've had issues with #25 chain before and debates on whether #35 chain was too much at times.
We went with a bike chain which is stronger than #25, looks like #35, but with a weight nearly that of a #25 chain. We used them for our electric vehicles and never had to swap them out for any reason this year due to stretching or skipping issues.
