Re: pic: Skunkswerve....team 1983

Aren't you missing tensioners for your toughbox (or dewalt) chains? Sliding the toughbox/dewalt back and forth won't work since you'll have different amounts of slack in both chains. Or am I missing a second set of slots crosswise to the set I can see?

Re: pic: Skunkswerve....team 1983

The transmission is offset from the center of the robot, the chains will be different lengths so sliding the toughbox or Dewalt will tension both sides. If that method does not work, we are planning on making some of our own AM style tensioners for use with 25 chain.

I share the same emotions as Asa: It's scary how similar it looks to our design as well.

Looks very solid. Do you have a weight estimate?

Best of luck to you in fab.
