Re: Brecoflex Belt Versions
Brecoflex from what my team gathered ordering from them this year is that anything they have to do custom will take them 4-6 weeks. Items they have in stock they will ship in exactly(crossing my fingers here) 2 weeks. So as a FIRST robotics team unless you know that you're going to go with treads before the kickoff the only real options you have are choosing what they have in stock. In general they have pretty nice engineers on the phone that will help you with your decisions and if you explain your situation they'll usually be very helpful.

Secondly could you post that document about their different backings and their effect on the carpet. That could be a huge boon to teams. I know i'm very, very nervous about my team's choice of supergrip. I'm sure it will be very tractive on the carpet and pretty good on the diamond plate/lexan. However I'm worried it will be too good. I've heard rumors of 2.0+ coefficients of friction on the carpet that will make turning a nightmare.
