Question Ordering Belts

Our team used a conveyor-belt made from drawer liner this year. It worked very well in regard to traction, but we couldn't keep it from coming off. We were using this conveyor belt to lift the balls.

Instead of fussing with it anymore I want to replace it with individual o-ring belts.

The problem is what kind of belt to order? I know nothing about belts and durometers and I'm kind of at a loss of how to go about doing this.

I have the circumference I want, but how do I know how much these different belts stretch?

Here's the belt I'm thinking of ordering:


Will this work? What have other teams used?

[EDIT]I want to use endless belts.[EDIT]
