For those interested about the belting. It is a product of unichain, and it is the "Uni-QNB with Rubber" belting. Heres a picture of it in the flesh from their catalog.



Also, heres a picture of it from our 2007 bot.



This is some amazing stuff. It's original purpose is as conveyor belting, but as a tread system it is terrific. The links are 1" long each and are easily removed. They have incredible traction, and are very flexible along their joints. Also, they interact with a sprocket on the other side that is very easy to water jet out (given you use the specs provided in the catalog).

We're still working on the cheese and bumper mountings, but we're hoping to get her once again back on the Jenny Craig, this time pre-cut. (Our 2007 bot had quite the post-waterjet cheesing going on once we realized we're 5lb over)
