Even if you implement them terribly, Gates makes really high quality belts, it is doubtful you will break one.

Also, that WDC looks great, if you use this drivetrain, chances are it will be one of the best at any regional you attend.
Haha thanks! even though I competed against 118 and 148 this year I take that compliment quite nicely. I am a rookie this year and that was a chassis I designed after our only regional. We are looking to develop our team for next year and really prove ourselves in our second year.
