VexPro Drivetrain popping while driving
We finally got to do alot of testing on our competition bot today, and we started hearing a popping from the drivetrain everytime it moves. We have a WCP SS gearbox, using belts to drive the outer wheels in a WCD style. We noticed it gets louder when we start putting the correct tension on the belts. It's not trying to run up the flanges on the pulleys, which was one of our thoughts. We are thinking the bearings might be popping under the constant load from the belt tension, but we pretty much have no idea what is causing it.
