We're actually using TETRIX parts ( the ones from FTC )

We have a PVC cap in the fisher price gearbox, with a cotter pin through it to rotate. It's attached to an axle with goes through a sprocket that rotates "tetrix tank tread", which is essentially our conveyor.

I think the sprocket is about 3 in in diameter.

It's a single belt, pushed against a solid back.
