Belt Drive

Our team is looking into using belts, as opposed to chain or gears, for our drivetrain and we are prototyping it this summer. After a quick look I did not see anything pop out at me on the search that seemed to have what I wanted so I decided that a new thread was in order.

If your team used a belt drive this year, tell us a little bit about it. Any helpful tips or a general description of your drive system would be very appreciated. We understand the basic concepts but if there are any hidden details please let us know.

Thank you!
