Luckily it would be possible for us to stretch them further rather easily (moving two plates and a few new holes), but it's not the type of operation I'd want to undertake unless it is really needed.
Sorry for the mini-hijack. It is quite an impressive bot, which quite an impressive color scheme.

Zip ties with the "heads" at 180 degrees will help keep the bands from moving too much. If you've got the weight,
little lexan fingers (you can see two sets near the bottom of the conveyor) work really well at keeping them in order.
Anyways, back on 968 track. You and 254 have once again built two very, very pretty, very good robots. Do you expect any inspector troubles with your not-quite-West-Coast drive?
Is there something to protect your front collecting mechanism? It looks like another robots corner in your collector could do some nasty things.
