Yeah, bit curious why you left the first stage gears when you've used them everywhere else. It seems to be the reverse of optimal.

Could you post the tooth counts of each stage and any math you've done to confirm you'll have enough power capacity with the belts.

Also need to think lot harder about that inverse pneumatic. I know this is a rough CAD but what you have could potentially kill the cylinder, way to flimsy.

Otherwise I like how it's turned out.

EDIT: by belts not lining up I think he means if you're not carful how you join the pulleys together one of the two belts might not fit into the teeth correctly.

EDIT2: pneumatic is less flimsy if you have another one the other side. Still could be stronger.
