I'd rather just use #35, and then not have to worry about it.

heh, one thing we do pride ourselves in is that our robot is practically completely designed and built by students on our team. and i assure you, if we can lay out a great chassis with a t-square, anyone else can, at least with little bit of care and thought, anyone can learn to draw a line strait or drill a hole right, thats what mentors and teachers are there for. what i am saying is that #25 chain is as simple and easy to use and work with as 35. also, sprocket spacing is a lot easier (each link is 1/4 inch long, making spacing a snap)!
