 Remember, however, that such software limitations in no way approximate the functionality of a multiple-speed, mechanical transmission. They're simply a convenient way of limiting your students' lead feet. - Madison [more] |

Re: paper: Belt vs. Chain Drive Evaluation - Team 234
Amazing test and report, well done! I expect the entire project was a great learning experience for everyone on your team, it's way more exposure to 'real engineering' than most high-schoolers ever come close to seeing.
I'm not very surprised by the results, but it is good to have a solid reference. Unfortunately the gain in performance from using belts over chains isn't worth the extra design effort and hassle for most teams, but it's good to see it being pursued (and in such a professional way!).
