Last year we had excellent success with Bosch Extruded (e.g. metric 8020) -- totally rocked the Finger Lakes Regional with a highly successful endgame. (I think we failed to lift only twice, and both of those times were because of issues totally unrelated to the performance of the lift itself!)

Bosch has slide carriages that fit their 30mm extruded and work extremely well. We used more of it this year for our minibot deployment.
