We are confused about the two answers that seem to be conficting. In The Robot Parts & Materials post #19 ACME threaded rod IS allowed. In The Robot Mechanical Answers post #2 a Lead Screw IS NOT allowed. We believe ACME threaded rod is a type of Lead Screw. If you go to McMaster and search for Lead Screw you get to ACME Threaded Rod.
Can you reconcile these two answers?
