Michael is right, those are "chains". I actually made this one in Inventor though. The second sprocket is, embarrassingly, a case of laziness. Now that I use SolidWorks, however, I use a configuration for the sprockets so that each wheel/bearing block assembly only has the single appropriate sprocket.
Also, in the current revision, the shafts are chamfered at the end as per the WCP Design.
Thank you for the suggestions regarding opening up the bottom. I will make sure to leave clearance pockets for maintenance purposes.
To think that one can "learn" engineering in 6 weeks while under the strain of building a robot too is proposterous. FIRST isn't about teaching. It's about inspiring.
