Re: OH SNAP! Belt failures 2014

We used gates gt2 belt on our shooter when we had a motorpolt, however this happened:

after we killed the first belt, we switched to chain. user error probably killed the belt, as we were hard stopping the shooter while still running the belt. The belts were driven by 2 cim's and 2 775's geared 5.33:1 at the section that sheared. We did not break the pulleys, but the belt was dead. The belts we use on our drivetrain, however, are still in good shape after two regionals. We used VEXpro 9mm Timing Belts (two of them are attached to two cims each, and two to a cim and a minicim each), and they have held up great.
