Re: Using Treads this year?

Something my team did was buy just the tread and the wheels. Therefore we can customize how many rollers we have. Plus we wont have to wait 2-3 weeks for the tread since the site stated that only the full modules would take that long, while the tread doesn't have that time constraint. Another thought is using belts that you would regularly use on belt driven systems (wouldn't suggest that). Another idea is use custom conveyor belts from McMastercarr.
Good Luck.
