Tell ya what....this saved us alot of time.
Actaully, we used pollyethelene. The strips were too big for all the sections but one so i had to spend some serious time with a kerosine parth cleaner bin!

Some bracketry combined with a grooved ball bearing fixed the issue for the carriage. We are prolly going to make another set of that for the first ladder cuz it likes to bind a bit.

Its a good bot though!
