Re: Bearings vs Bearing Blocks

I can attest to the simplicity and robustness of exact c2c belt drive. Chris's old team 2791 was kind enough to walk our team thru its construction and design this past season. We made use of RPI's cnc and turned out by far our best drivetrain we have ever had. Trust me in the past 1493 has built some of the worst drive trains in the history of FRC and I dont think we will be changing from belt in tube c2c for awhile.

The ability to get the hole spacing correct is 99% of the challenge.
