For anybody that was at the Silicon Valley Regional event at the San Jose Event Center, in San Jose, California. They probably saw our drivetrain, it seemed we were the only ones that used a timing belt pulled by pulley's

Quite a few people came by and commented on it. Though *when it works* it is effective, we had a LOT of problems with it. The tread slipped off numerous times and we broke 3 of those cheap tranny's they gave us. As one of my teammates said to someone who asked about our drivetrain: "Everyone likes our drivetrain but us"

It's a pain in the butt to maintain, but oh well.

btw, if you didnt know we are team 409
Don't worry we feel your pain too. We have a unique crab steer design that we were having problems with for a while but it is now taken care of for the most part. We like to refer to our robot in general as "A ballerina in a mosh-pit."
