We have a nearly identical 2nd conveyor running perfectly using some fo the 5mm kit belts.

We're keeping our control system, part of the turret, and we are bringing in our redesigned rollers.

If it's a wrong/shallow profile belt, fair enough. If you're looking to buy more 5mm pitch belts or timing belt sprockets, SDP/SI has a wide selection, including a ton of really light polycarbonate timing belt pulleys with aluminum hubs.

Drivers station.
Some Lexan panels so they can be lettered and logos applied.

Everything else is COTS.

Re: What's going in your Withholding Allowance?

We're holding on to our control board and driver station. We had some issues at this weekends scrimmage, all programming, mostly problems with watchdog. Everything else is pretty simple and doesn't need fixing
