Re: Best Drive Train

Definitely not the best drivetrain but a very very good one is this year's KOP Belt Drivetrain. We decided to go with it this year to spend more time on our different mechanisms. It took roughly 2-3 hours to put together and after we assembled it we never had to worry about it again. The built in belt tensioners worked great and once tightened we never had any problems with the drivetrain itself. Being able to not worry about the drivetrain at competition was a luxury we never had before. I would also like to point out just how robust it was. We could go head to head with some of the best drivetrains in frc. Fast, enough traction to not get pushed around, and very robust. Thank you Andymark!
