Re: Drive systems

We not actually using treads. We're planning on using a v-belt that has teeth on booth sides. We also are going with a rocker(spelling) bar like design. Kind of like a bulldozer. When we do turn the bot the treads turn in opposite directions. When this happens the rocker bar picks up the pulleys on the bottom ends leaving only the middle touching, reducing the amount of stress while turning.
