My team 1251 used brecoflex treads in 2010. While we did manage to snap one of the treads at the welded joint, we ordered extras and didn't really have any other problems except normal belt wear, so it appeared to just be that individual belt. Words of caution when using Brecoflex always design for proper tension, make sure you have the facilities to make the proper tracking groove if you are using self tracking belt models and make sure the game dictates the use of treads. Finally, make sure your robot will be able to turn this has to do with various design aspects of your treaded drive system, such as pivot idler pulley design and quality. Brecoflex does provide great data on proper tensioning and pulley V groove specs. You may want to look at Gates Mectrol also as I have heard that they are better pricing wise, don't forgot to allow for lead time for your belt order its going to be at least tens days. All in all Brecoflex belts get the job done well for the right game/ robot design.
