I don't see the belts getting sold separately though. Will the tank track belts be sold separately? It would be nice so people could get replacements

Since one of the design parameters seems to have been the ability to replace the belts quickly I'd say that they will eventually offer the belts separately. If you look at the pdfs of it it looks like all that is needed to replace the belt is removal of one stand off and of course loosing up the tensioning turn buckle far enough to get the belt off of one of the end pulleys.

We're listening, and we realize that our price is high. We've lowered our 6' length down to $17 per stick.

Yep, the Rhino Track Drive belts will be sold separately as product am-3288. They are steel cord reinforced urethane timing belts, 65.5" long (endless loop), with blue carbox nitrile roughtop tread. They have a max tension point of 600 pounds. We have a bunch of pulleys and belts here in stock.

Thanks for stocking the thin wall tubing Andy! It's great having a local cheap source for when we run out of our 973 supply. We went from no sources of thin wall tubing last year to at least 3 that will ship to us.

Rocketbox looks really cool. If I wanted a PTO this year that's probably where I would go.

$320 is a little much for a PTO, don't you think?

Not really. Can you point to a comparable product for less?

Not based on the manufacturing cost.

Edit: Cim encoder too! http://www.andymark.com/encoder-p/am-3314.htm

It is slightly more expensive than the WCP Shifting gearbox, and the shifting is being allocated to a whole new shaft. It's definitely expensive, but so is everything else in the robot world.

Looks a little pricy when there is already open source 3d printable alternative.

That is true. It does require you to have a 3d printer. This CIM motor encoder is how ever way more versatile than the 3d printed one due to the fact that you do not loose that much shaft.
