 If your robot doesn't work, it doesn't matter, because the robot is really meaningless, in the long run. What is the important thing, the reason we're all in FIRST then? To better our understanding of Science and Technology, and hopefully make the world a better place. - Ian W. [more] |

Not good...
We used belting for our transmission this year. Our entire tranny consisted of pulley reductions from the chiaphua to the wheels.
It worked fairly well, although it was hard to keep tensioned and aligned properly (especially in the heat of battle). I found myself wishing our head engineers had just built a spur gear box you can't beat ~90% efficiency! I wouldn't do it again...  ~JVN |
