Re: Vex Slider Parts

Some teams have managed to use them, but it is definetly quite a challenge. Team 3214 pulled it off beautifully, but it took them a long long time. They told me they used optical shaft encoders and quite a bit of code to perfectly sync two different motors to lift their cage on opposite sides with linear slides.
