Re: pic: Belt Drive Chassis Take 2

tres cool.

I'd suggest spring loading both of the chain tensioners equally. This should help the belt alignment issue on the middle wheel.

Putting this drive inside a rectangular tube is neat and will protect it. It will also make maintenance a bear.

I'd suggest prototyping after getting the design down. Look at maintenance ease an reliability in the prototype. Try to break it.

Good luck.
