It really depends on what the belts are for. If it is for tank treads, it will be awesom. If it is for a game like Aim High, once again it is going to be awesome. If you can manage to use a conveyer belt to manipulate this years game piece, more power to you... I just don't see how it will work considering many thing. First, the ball doesn't fit in the dimensions of the robot. Also, your conveyer belt would have to be extendable or something. Plus, even if you figure in for all this, it will take a while. Anyways, Good luck to anyone attempting such a feat and I hope you post pictures/videos. I really want to see how people can overcome all of these problems.
