You might get some ideas from it!

Thanks!

I was thinking about belts because I know they would work (If I'm willing to accept some losses to friction for the slack belts just rubbing on the pulley)....

Now I just need to find a way to scale that down. The robot will ride on either 1.625" or 2" wheels and will be fully invertible (with the top and bottom identical). So, I've got to fit this down into a 1" space or so. I just hope the micro servos I have have enough torque to put sufficient tension in the belts....

Maybe If I cut some custom pulleys and use 1/8" or so round belt (similar to what teams use for conveyors from last year?).

EDIT: didn't even think of this before.... But this would allow me to completely remove the two other motors. That saves me a bunch of weight and makes the controls much easier!
