Re: pic: Team 973 2009 Robot - RAPTOR

One of my favorite robots this year, if only because it rivals Team 100 in orange-ness

I have couple basic questions about fabrication, it seems like you did some of the same things we did, but much better. How did you join your urethane belting together? Where did you purchase the ABS tubing, and why go with ABS instead of PVC? Judging off of McMaster's prices PVC seems like a much much cheaper material choice. And last question, how deep are the grooves in your ABS, and have you had any problems with belts skipping off?

I love the design, any tips you can offer would be appreciated, our only belt system doesn't look remotely as good as the 5 you guys have on this bot. Excellent job 973!
