+2 I was part of the team indiana Ri3D group. Even without reinforcing it quite as well as we should have the REV extrusion with V-bearings worked flawlessly. Huge amounts of adjustability to get the spacing and squareness of the frame just right.

We used the IGUS DryLin W track on the 2014 robot for our Spring guide system.

We are planning on using it again for the lift system this year as well. We would use 15-5M HTD belt to position the slider mechanism.
