Yes, I think that it has been done. Team 393 (yet another Indiana team... wooo!), did it in 2002. They did it with sprockets. I don't know why, but maybe it was for easier engagement. I do recall that this system was noisy and the sprockets wore down. Paul Osborne or Caleb Osborne (father and son) are the guys to ask on that team. Libby Ritchie is the team leader.

Here is a link to their site:

I did not find any pictures of that 'bot, but I am sure that they are "out there" (no time now to look).

Good luck,
Andy
