What are the pro's and consequences of using chain drive instead of building a gear train

If you are very keen on going with chain drive, my suggestion is to take a look at 1103 Round Up drive train.
It is still one of the best built chain drive with minimal slop.

imo there’s a place for chained and geared drives. an example of when you’d want a chain drive for the flexibility point can be seen in a design similar to the 5203G early season robot for high stakes
