Interesting. But it was possible to get on without detensioning before? Do you have a tensioner on your drivetrain that you use to get your belts on? Are these gt2 or vex belts? What brand of pulleys did you use?

Just remember, FIRST isn't about the robot, just have fun, meet new people, and try to learn something new. Killing yourself with inhumane amounts of pressure just isn't fun for anyone.
