Build Blitz Robot Reveal - Team Copioli

I saw posted somewhere here on CD(maybe in the 2014 VEXPro product release thread) that the pulley is toleranced such that 2 9mm belts will fit on the 15mm pulley.

Unless I imagined seeing it.

The belts are not in the design, so I am trying to figure out how two would fit with what I'm assuming is a 9mm timing belt from vex pro. Are they using a different pulley/belt or would this be able to fit somehow?

I hope that more information on assembly will be released soon for teams looking into using Vex Pro's versa chassis system.

The 15mm pulley is a bit wider than that, and the 9mm belts are a bit narrower than that, allowing for two "9mm" belts to fit on a "15mm" Vex pulley.

Ok, I found where this was discussed in the Versa Chassis thread. RC responded to a similar question - http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...1&postcount=11

-The pulleys can be expanded with spacers.

The 42T and 60T pulleys can we widened with spacers. The 18T, 24T, 30T, 36T pulley come in two widths, the wider one can accommodate two 9mm wide belts. (we toleranced things to make this work).
