Also where is a good place to buy some T-slot tubing?

Our 2007 robot used a 2-stage (more like 1.5 stage) 80/20 telescoping elevator using the 80/20 linear glide pieces. Here's a link to all our photos from the 2007 season:

And a few photos of the system:
This photo shows the elevator when it was still powered by two Globe motors, but we later switched it out for a 3" CIM.
You can look on the 80/20 website to find distributors near you. The local distributors are usually very helpful and usually give a 10% discount to FIRST teams.
