As long as it's properly tensioned, the system should be fine. However, properly tensioning and aligning belts can a bit of a dynamic situation when in FIRST. Constantly flexing frames can lead to sudden losses or gains in tension, unless you can design a quite rigid chassis.

I really dig the direction you're heading in, so keep it up! A Belt drive crab isn't common, and if you can pull it off it ought to yield some nice weight advantages.
