The parts ordered from VEX Robotics including wheels, sprockets, bearings, and collars were received today. When the parts were being confirmed, some parts were not correct.

The sprockets we ordered were not the size we needed. We will have to adjust sprockets on hand and modify them for our cause. To get these sprockets to work with what we need, all we have to do is drill three holes into the existing sprockets to attach them to our wheel/chain assembly. In the picture below, the sprocket on the right is the sprocket being modified, and the series of sprockets on the left are secured to the other sprocket to allow us to drill out the proper holes for attaching the existing sprockets to the wheel assembly.

To allow the motor chains from falling off their sprockets, we are creating a slot in the chassis rails to allow the motors on each side to be adjustable, so they can eliminate any slack present in the assembly.
