Re: Belts 9mm or 15mm?

I would not recommend using 9mm belts on a drivetrain. We tried it last year to save space on our robot. It was the biggest flaw of our robot. Maybe it was because of missallignment or tensioning but we went through several sets of belts at one regional. Eventually we switched to chain and that was much better. Just save yourself the headache and use 15mm belts or chain.
