[FTC]: REV Slide

Hi guys,

So for this year, our team was thinking about using an 80/20 slide for lifting objects, but after doing some research, it seems as if teams prefer REV lifts instead. So, I have questions regarding it, if you have information

1) Does it weigh a lot? I read some people were saying that it still weighed a bit too much, but still was pretty lightweight.

2) Does it have the same strength as an 80/20 lift?

3) What causes different levels to move up? Is it pulley based, motorized, or something else?

4) How would one attach these to TETRIX pieces? Would the brackets work?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
Jeremy
