I was playing with that one track slider thing in the kit but that didn't seem too reliable. How would you achieve such a sliding motion reliably?
How would you use rollers (such as the pink ones found here link) to do it?

When 330 uses a lift, they like to use aluminum C-channel with delrin rollers attached to blocks, secured inside the ends. The roller at the top of one segment is placed so that the block it attaches to is a hard stop for the roller at the bottom of the next one over.
