Re: Timing Belt Drive System

If you are going to use timing belts, why use wheels?

There are many teams, Team S.P.A.M. included, who have used timing belts as treads.

Recently, we went to a dual tread design so if one tread should break during a match, you can still drive around. It works quite well.
