From the CAD, I can see how it is restrained in two dimensions, but not the third.
This was the little demo we had set up in our pit in Atlanta, that allowed people to play with it. It's not representative of the actual setup.

The outside is a plain 1x2 that makes a U frame, with the bottom being solidly attached to the robot base, and the top the open portion. The top is held at the correct width by a spanner that goes across the two beams. You can see this in pictures of our robot--it's the piece the pulley/flag holder/spring mounts to. The bearings then mount as you see here, top and bottom.

The inside is a rectangle made of channel on the left and right sides, and 1"x2" on the tops and bottoms. it rides inside the bearings, as shown.
