Re: Vee belt polyurethane belting?

although we did not use a v belt for drive it was again on our shooter. the v belt performed better than we thought and showed no signs of slippage and no damage short of normal ware and tare. the v belt and its pully's were the only component on our robot that did not need to be fixed at all.

from my experience, a v belt is easier to align/tention/is more forgiving than a cog belt.
