That's asking a lot from some teams (though I doubt that 188 isn't up to the task). Across the three teams I've worked with, it's always been #35 chain for various reasons (paranoia, the free ten feet in the kit, doubt over our abilities to reach the necessary precision for #25, lack of need to try). I'd want to try it on a test robot before relying on it for competition, just to make sure our old tricks are adequate.
