Re: How can you make a belt out of tubing?

I think you may be referring to orange polycord. I don't think pneumatic tubing would be good for this. We made the bands by cutting two opposite angle cuts and then holding them together while using a blowtorch to melt the ends. Fast and quick. After the polycord starts changing colors,we then dunk it in a bath of ice and use a grinder to grind of the excess spilled out (we only have a hand one, but bench grinder would work great). We usually make the polycord 30% shorter so we can stretch it nice and tight on the robot.
