There is one of the official posts in the forum.
Thanks. In what manner can those be considered a linear slide? Am I misreading this rule:

Quote:
<R02> In addition to the TETRIX, LEGO, and/or MATRIX components, teams may use additional materials
to construct their robots providing they meet the following constraints:
a. Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) assemblies are not permitted with the exception of the following:
1. Linear Slides.
2. Non-motorized Turntables and Lazy Susans.
3. Lead Screws and threaded rod plus compatible nuts.
4. Servo blocks (e.g. ServoCity Part # SB608SH and SB609SH).
5. #25 chain and compatible connector links and half-links.
...what a ridiculous interpretation...
