Thanks!
It was definitely an experiment in design for us. The method of construction/fabrication was simply what best lent itself to our resources.
On our final robot, the drive sprockets will not be inside the channel.
However, it was designed with the option for both.
If we used versablocks, the chain run would be internal. We however, decided to go with standard sliding bearing blocks. Mechanical team preferred a non-internal chain run for access purposes.

I, for one, refused to be railroaded down this train of thought so easily! Geeze, one lousy game hint just builds up steam for any old picture to come through and go two pages in a matter of hours. - Billfred [more]
