Exact c-c would be a horrible idea on the drivetrain. You need a very high belt tension to avoid ratcheting and premature belt failure, and that's hard to achieve without a lot of trial and error with exact c-c, and isn't forgiving if anything changes.
We will not be placing our encoders there again. It was a pain to change belts with them there.
It doesn't make a team better if they have just one sponsor or if they have 100 sponsors. However, you should commend a team who struggled to pay the bill with a list of sponsors one hundred long for showing their strength, perseverance and love for participating in the FIRST robotics program. - MikeDubreuil [more]
