Help With Bike Chain

[Apachebot]

We are using a linear elevator for our robot, and have come to the stage where we need to attach bike chain to our pulley system. We were able to separate the chain and line up with the link which provides the best tightness, but we are unsure how to reconnect the links using the Hitachi ANSI-35 connecting links our mentor gave us (he is at work today.) How do you recommend we reconnect the chain? Any help will be appreciated - Team 5241 most definitely knows how much of a time crunch other teams are in - we are definitely stressed for time ourselves!
P.S. We do have a chain breaker tool, if that information is at all pertinent.
