 So we are able to run a very competitive and active robotics program. Sustainability, alas, is a month-to-month issue for us and is dictated by the space situation. This is okay today. Tomorrow could be different. We live like this. - Clem1640 [more] |

Re: [FTC]: Which linear slides to use?
Our teams (FTC 4950 and FTC 6038) used igus DryLin NW-27 sliders from the FRC KOP, and previously from AndyMark (if memory serves). They may be on the expensive side for some FTC teams, but they work very well.

Re: [FTC]: Which linear slides to use?
our team just got done installing a 4 stage "firemans ladder" lift utilizing these drawer slides
http://www.menards.com/main/home-dec...952-c-9337.htm Our design has 2 fixed 1"x1"x14" aluminum tubes attached to the chasis on the outermost edges, then alternating between slider and tube for 3 more layers such that there are 3 moving sections on each side. So, there is a total of 6 drawer slides (3 on each side). The biggest issue we found is the weight of the drawer sliders. We have ordered a set of igus DryLin NW-27 sliders and corresponding shuttle cars. As soon as they arrive, we'll swap out the drawer sliders for those, and I'll post our results. - FTC Team #6389
