Re: pic: FRC488 - 80/20 Drive Train
I think that, when we start to get to the point where we're adding band-aids -- little blocks here and brackets there -- it's best to start again and reexamine the requirements of the drive.
This design's efficacy, for our needs, is wholly contingent upon using the 80/20 slots for tensioning. If it turns out that it's not effective in that capacity, we'll go back to other designs that, while requiring a bit more time and effort, have worked for us in the past.
I wonder if sometimes, people become so attached to an idea that they'll go to the end's of the Earth to avoid acknowledging that it's not the best idea for their circumstances. I think that happens to me sometimes and I'm trying to get better at recognizing that and knowing when to start over.
