Re: Best Drivetrain

As far as reliability issues goes, this coming from the bot that probably had more chains than anybody bu 118 (they crazy ). We had 7 chains on the drivetrain this year all #25, 3 of those chains were really long, 1 going all the way around the bot to steer our wheels. And the one chain not in the drivetrain was what cocked back our shooter, and if you've seen the amount of surgical tubing on that guy, thats alot of stress.

We've been through 4 competitions, not a single chain related issue, you just gotta keep it aligned and tensioned, which i realize takes some work, but i think the weight savings is definetely worth the work to align it properly
