Belts vs. Chains

We're from a rookie team in Irvine (TUSD) California, and while working, we came across the issue of whether to attach a chain or a belt to the sprocket. We figured the belt was lighter and more efficient, but, looking around, a lot of teams seem to prefer chain.

Why? I understand that older teams may like the dependability and long lasting quality of a good metal chain, but other than that, why?
