I'm curious what you're gearing your belt-drive bot to, and what kind of belts/pulleys. We just switched *to* chain after several years of belts, because in very-high-torque pushing matches our 15mm HTD belts would jump even with laser-cut center-to-center mounting plates (and then even with delrin tensioners).
