Drive belt

[Rachika Garcia]

Is there a rule that states that we cannot use a belt to drive the robot?

[Rick TYler]

Nope. I think a toothed automotive belt might be interesting -- although chains usually win out because they are less prone to breaking under maximum torque, and do not slip.

Belts might work really well for ball collectors and launchers though...

Please also consider reading the rules.

belts are probably lighter, depending on the alternative chain size, and the thickness of the belt.
