Apparently the mules watch the center chain and as it gets closer to 
hitting them, they jump it.  The position of the chain changes as the 
team makes a turn.  I was told that it only takes one time for the 
chain to rub a mule before the mule figures it out.  I think there are 
also voice commands that might come from the driver.
