Is there a rule that states that we cannot use a belt to drive the robot?

Re: Drive belt
Nope. I think a toothed automotive belt might be interesting -- although chains usually win out because they are less prone to breaking under maximum torque, and do not slip.
Belts might work really well for ball collectors and launchers though... |

Re: Drive belt
belts are probably lighter, depending on the alternative chain size, and the thickness of the belt.
