Re: Round Belting - Solid vs. Hollow, Polycord vs. McMaster

Slightly different topic, but has anyone compared V Belt to the Polycord? Has anyone USED V Belt on a robot before? We found tons of examples of teams that used polycord, and have even used it ourselves, but have been experimenting with V Belt in our initial prototypes. It seems to work well and slip out less, but one of our mechanical engineers was thinking that as its used it has more potential to come out of the pulley...

Any thoughts?
