 The game is as much a competition of strategies as it is of robots. There is never any one "best strategy."
If teams choose to use this as their strategy, find one that will beat them. - srjjs [more] |

Re: pic: 121 Manipulator Prototype
Have you thought about how you are going to confront the issue of side-load on the belts?
We have run extensive tests on this type of system, and have determined that side-loads generated from twisting the tubes can easily dislodge the belts. As for belts, I highly recommend neoprene belts from mcmaster carr. They have incredible traction. I machined our own pulleys out of nylon (18 hrs. of machining w00t w00t!)
