Re: Brecoflex Belt Versions
So I talked to one of the Brecoflex engineers today indepth about the belts. He told me that the ARC power plus versions have trouble handling large side loads, and reccomended using the TK10 or ATK10 self tracking belts because they can have a much stronger tracking grove.

Also he helped me with the selection of a backing material and sent me a doc that they produced specifically for FIRST teams that comparied some of their backings and gave relative coefficients of friction for the various field surfaces. Im not sure if FIRST has passed this info along to teams or not, but if anyone would like this doc email me and I will be happy to forward it on to you.
