Thanks. That's good, and disappointing feedback

Team 234 used a similar style of tread in 2004 and 2006.

The stuff was almost literally bullet proof and quite heavy.

Biggest issues (with any belt drive) are keeping tension on the drive sprocket, belt tracking and alignment, and creating a "low point" around which the robot will turn.
