Transfer gearbox output at a 45° and 90 °angle?

A concept I had for climbing the pyramid involves getting power from the drive motors. It's based on our current climbing concept which I won't explain beyond saying that it involves 2 wide belts in the shape of a V and are at 45 degrees to the frame. The attached image shows my idea to transfer power from the drive train to the belt. What I don't have ideas on how to do are the circles with question marks in them. I don't have an idea on how to transfer power along those angles with enough torque to lift the robot. Thoughts?
