I'd ask for weight and cost, but then, I already know.
Our team is using the same belts, and there is a definite side loading problem. The V groove in the middle isn't enough to stop the belt from being locked up (and breaking itself!) if the bot is pushed from the side, unless it can be addressed somehow. I was simple asking whether or not they had looked into the issue.
