 Goodness, YES. Please get a copy of the rules. It explains a lot, and if your robot does NOT follow the rules, you will not be allowed to compete. Really, it is very important. - DonRotolo [more] |

Re: Sprockets as Chain Tensioners?
Keep in mind that anything you add into the chain run will add friction and decrease the efficiency of the system.
The only way to avoid this is to either size the center-to-center distances perfectly so that no tensioner is needed or to have a system where the axles slide to tension the chain. |
