Re: Team 1671: Off-season belt drive prototype

I'm not going to comment on the use of timing belt, as our team hasn't had experience with it. I do, however, have a few general questions and comments.

What size axles are you using? They look like 3/8", but I'd highly suggest 1/2" for cantilevered wheels. Also, What is the point of the diamond shaped bearing blocks? It would be much better for manufacturing if they were simpler.

Other than that, looks pretty cool. Good luck!
