Re: OH SNAP! Belt failures 2014

Here's a picture of two of our belts that failed:

We figured that the carpet thread wound itself around the drive pulley and increased it diameter, of said pulley, which caused the belts to tighten up and break.
I asked the student if they didn't notice that the field was disappearing from behind them
During the finals at St. Louis, we broke several drive belts. The last very last match we played with only 3 drive belts instead of 4. We won St. Louis.
