Off Season Project

[Johnny_5]

This year is the first year we have a significant amount of financial support. In previous years we didn't have enough to do any off season projects.

We decided we wanted to build a robot platform that would be fairly modular in terms of what we could do with it. We also want to be able to drive it out on the football field or in the county parades.

During brainstorming the idea of using a track drive system came up. We did some research and found that some teams use breco-flex timing belt pulleys as tread. We don't think those are strong and durable for our application.

Does anyone know of a product that we could use?
