Re: pic: REV Robotics building system

Very happy to see something for FRC in linear rail. We've used some openbuild rails before with a V-Groove channel. Great stuff to work with. Easy to use. AFFORDABLE and not like 80/20 or Item, especially the PRICE. We live 20 miles from 80/20 and it still cost us alot of money to purchase 80/20 direct from them. We had over $1000 in 80/20 for our pit organizer "general store" we call it. Most of the time we try to have Neff Engineering donate what we need.

But for parts on the robot a v-slot linear rail like this is awesome to see, especially if it will be tailored toward FRC. Here is a sample of openbuild v-slot we've been toying with.
