This document has some good info on one sided conveyors vs two sided. (http://files.andymark.com/ManiupulatorDesign.pdf)

Conveyors generally don't require tons of power, usually the belts will slip on the game piece before the motor stalls.

The amount of turns don't really affect the power necessary.

These are some great resources, will have to send that video along to our students.

Thanks for the reference.

Really great thread, any other tips are appreciated for those of us who haven't done belting in a while (or ever).
