Re: Chain drive vs. cogged belt drive(timing belts)

we used 2 for our ball collector this year... it seemed like a good idea at the time.

What it really amounted to was frustration everytime we took the darn thing apart, and now in the offseason, (probably because we 'over-tweaked' the robot) when we go to give demonstrations, and we pick up balls, the collector actually stops once the ball gets in it , then the ball slowly crawls up and in. (not saying it will happen to you, but be wary)
