Either way it will be a massive step up from the current kitbot.

The whole point of the kitbot is that it's easy to make, reliable, strong and simple. I wouldn't expect First to release a kitbot that isn't those things, and if they can pull that off with a belt drive then that'll be a drive train better than most teams can custom make.

True,

Although if FIRST is working with AM, AM/Andy could make an extrusion (with the 6 bolt pattern) for the pulley and then send it out for machining (most likely a boring operation and parting).
