Re: Timing Belts for 6W Drive
The statement that belts cannot handle high torque is false. Lots of machines like large mills and motorcycles use belts without any trouble.
The problem with belts is that they are not good at changing directions quickly. Often, when they go from forwards to reverse very quickly, (as in a FIRST robot) they skip teeth or go flying off. Notice how 118 only needs to drive their wheels 1 direction? ![]() |
