Re: Belts vs. Chains

Team 612 has originally been using chains, but after many problems in 2005 including tensioning problems, chain slippage, and chains breaking we switched to belts and pulleys in 2006.

Simply the greatest decision we have ever made.

Our kevlar belts are stronger, lighter, quieter, more robust, and less prone to slipping and snapping. Once we used ours last year we didn't have a single problem through 2 regionals, championship, and tons of offseason practice. The only problem was our wheels being to weak . We have changed that this year with a more robust wheel design. The only big change we have made was the belt teeth shape, we went from rectangles to trapezoids to handle the 4 cims we are putting on them.

You guys trust the belts in your car right?
