you can buy Delrin(sp?) sliders that is made specifically for Extrusions. They come in different profile. 115 used it for their 2003 robot to build an elevator.
Google "Bosch Rexroth"
check out their catalog. There are many other suppliers that sell extrusion materials, fasteners, linear motion etc..
