Re: Chain vs. Belts?!?

After seeing what 5172 did with poly cord this year, im excited to use it more in the future. Belts don't stretch which is nice, but you have to design around belt size more so than you do with chain. Personally I'm sick of chain, but that's because it cost me a ton of time during Ri3D. It's more difficult to align a chain than it is a belt in my experience.

You can't go wrong either way if you do it correctly. I would suggest looking into poly cord belts as an option.
