Re: pic: Team 610 Off-Season Tank Drive Prototype

Looks nice. I have one question. How do you tension the belts?

Keep tweaking it, because teams last year went through lot of belts at the competitions. One of my mentors once said, "A design is never perfect, there is always something you can work on and make it better."

Also, I wanted to point this out. Looks like team 1114 is really out there helping teams out. About two nights ago Tyler and Karthik helped me out big time. Tyler (holtzman) talked to me for about 3 hours about the chassis they have had in the past and the ones they have been working on. I can't imagine how much I learned from them. They are the reason, team 1345 has a prototype chassis designed and somewhere close to be manufactured. So, thank you team 1114.

... I am going to go ahead and try to answer the question George asked above. If you look closely they have a sprocket all the way in the back which drives the pulley. They are running a chain from the AM shifter to that back sprocket. I hope that helps you understand.
