Team 3495 Drivetrain teaser

Not to stoke the fire or anything, but JPBlacksmiths' prediction was correct. We encountered a lot of slipping when trying to go over the obstacles. We just weren't getting enough contact from the belt to the sprocket, only about a fifth of the sprocket was being used.

We have since switched to using chain (for the first time ever) for our four modules. We still have belts going from the gearbox to the modules, as it has much better contact and does not slip whatsoever.

Thanks for everyones opinion on the matter, they were taken into consideration and our robot is much more effective because of it.
