 When was the last time you heard of someone on their death bed talking about a great movie they saw? I think it far more likely to hear of their accomplishments, something they did to make things better. Well that's what FIRST is all about. - DougHogg [more] |

Re: Belt drive
Did you find the literature from Gates about the belts that was in with the kit of parts?
Usually there are two ways to tension a belt: you make it so the shaft that supports one of the pulleys can be moved away from the other pulley, or you add a third pulley called an "idler" that just pushes the belt from the side and keeps it tight. The only toothed belt I have handy for reference is this one on my car   it uses an idler that pushes against the inside of the belt.  Last edited by MrForbes : 22-01-2008 at 13:42. |
