Does a team have a god alternative to the Rev b system on Andymark?
Specifically the 1" Extrusion and v bearing specifically.

What length do you need. If you can live with lengths under 1.5 Meters then check out http://openbuildspartstore.com/v-slot/?sort=bestselling
If you order their extrusion, you will find that they have similar wheels (bearings) and bushings.
If you are able to get the extrusion from AndyMark (we were when it was briefly in stock last night) then these http://www.thebigbearingstore.com/servlet/the-3735/VW2-dsh-2RS-VW2-dsh-ZZ-VW2/Detail appear to be equivalent bearings.

Also, if OP can't wait for the REV extrusions, Inventables has something similar (https://www.inventables.com/technologies/aluminum-extrusion-20mm-x-20mm-clear) and you could use your voucher.

There is more extrusion going to AndyMark right now but it wont be in until mid next week at the earliest. My mfg is making more as I type this and it will be coming in steadily.
If you can't wait, the products linked in this thread are good alternatives, which give you similar abilities. Be careful with the delrin v-groove bearing options that are out there, as in my testing those don't hold up to the loading conditions that you might be putting on them building vertical lifts.
We are trying to keep up with demand the best we can and we appreciate your support and patience with all of this.

Our team's from Arlington, Texas. Can we just pick it up locally from your company to save shipping? We're scrambling to find alternatives but there's just not anything like it. I got the small size today. Need the large size!
Thanks!

The 80/20 (http://www.8020.net/) system is VERY similar to the RevB extrusion.
