Fantastic job

I presume by 'robot' you mean 'ball'?  I'm planning currently on 1/4" diameter urethane belting from McMaster-Carr, but we are still exploring our option in that respect. I'm trying to design the conveyor system to be a plug-and-play as possible because we may need to experiment with varied belt styles and materials to find what works best.
All six wheels are powered. You can see some video of the prototype chassis here: http://students.washington.edu/fsayr...ting%20(2).avi
