The design was part of the original west coast drive design originated by teams 60 and 254 around 2004ish, when the milled slot block was used as well. Milled slot + cam tensioning has been used for years up until recently when VEX developed the new VersaBlock. Of course you add a little bit of wiggle room tolerance to allow for things to slide, and use .196"-.201" slots for the bolts.
