Nice use of the Gates belts. We did an off-season project comparing a Gates belt driven robot with a standard #35 chain driven robot. Of course, we were using a four-motor, shifting transmission with AM Plaction wheels on standard FIRST carpet. How silly of us. The belts held up extremely well. Expect a white paper posted soon on the topic.

Welcome to the belt drive club, my team (612) has been using belts for three years now and still have yet to find another team doing something similar to us until now.

2 teams down, 1500 other teams we need to convert over to using belts instead of chains on the drive train.
