Re: Vex Slider Parts

I was very excited about the sliders, and I ordered some. I quickly found the same problems that you found (although, I was trying to slide up at an angle which is worse for friction). We asked if we could use some lubricant for the FVC competition, but the answer was a "NO". We quickly moved on to other ideas.

If you are looking to create and elevator mechanism, some teams I have seen use the tank treads as a rack and pinion gear. Good luck!
