So, with the redesign of the weapon system, I wish to put out a few questions to... well, anyone that does axe weapons done with a chain drive system. Here's what I've got so far;

I'm wanting to do a reduction of sorts when it comes to bringing the weapon up and over the bot in order to bring the axe to bear, as to try and balance it between speed and torque in an attempt to get as much power out of what little I have, using this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164336973228 overvolted to 21 volts and a sprocket replacement and getting new batteries to boot, considering I don't trust the ones that I currently have...

My questions are as follows;

-Would the diagram drawn out above even be feasible, what would be the best "ratios" and if so, would it increase power, or would it just slow it down too much?
-Where would be the best places to get such sprockets, along with chains, axles, bushings and keys?
And;
-Would it even be possible to fit all those chains and sprockets into a 5cm gap between the uprights?

At the moment, this is all just concept stuff. So any help with this would be fantastic!
