Timing Belts for 6W Drive
My team is making a basic 6 wheel drive base with the IFI KITBOT, and we are interested in using timing belts instead of chain. We're planning to have the SuperShifter transmissions between the front and middle (lowered 1/8") wheel, with 2 belts on each side, one connecting transmission/front-wheel/mid-wheel and another connecting mid-wheel/back-wheel.
We're using 6 grey Andymark wheels from the KoP and 3/8" d steel axles. This robot is meant to be a durable and fast (~11 fps) base for drivers to practice with. What belts and pulleys we should use (manufacturer, width, part #, etc.)? Do we need to buy the exact length, or is there a way to cut and re-attach (could we use the 10' Gates belting from the kit)? Do we need a way to tension, or will there really be no stretching? Any suggestions? Thanks for all of your help! Last edited by markulrich : 16-11-2008 at 12:25. |
