Direct drive does NOT mean directly from the motor. It means it is directly driven off of the gearbox output shaft. Many teams do this, even with mechanum wheels.

Yeah, the only time we've done a chain was last year. Chains are more common on non-mechanum types, because you likely need to control two wheels with one motor
