Re: Aluminum sprockets for drive train - several questions

233 has used #25 chain on our drive wheels for 10 years with no wear problems. They were manufactured from 6061 aluminum with no anodizing. Our robot from 2003 still runs and has the original sprockets. Before we went to direct drive we used steel sprockets on the output shaft for strength of the shaft/sprocket interface.
