Re: Possible to do multi-speed transmission with v-belt?

Team 1212 two years ago used V belts for its drive train. The belts will work but it requires a tensioner to keep them taught. This is because the belts will stretch over time because of wear and tear.

We never used a transmission of v belts but as a pulley reduction. I can not seem to find a picture of our robot anywhere sorry about that.
