Re: Keyang Accident

What is connecting the motor to the arm? You may be so preoccupied and worried that your belt might be skipping without you noticing it... I know this is unlikely but we used a belt last year with dual keyangs and it worked very nicely. we just had to design some improv tensioners to keep the belt from skipping.
