Re: pic: 1671 swerve module 3.0

If you set the center to center distance correctly then you shouldnt need a tensioner, especially considering kevlar reinforced belts essentially do not stretch, especially during a typical first season. The only thing that could be a benefit is some type of idler to effectively increase the wrap around the small pulley. As it is now, with sudden direction changes you could skip the belt
