 Do I think the bar is too high? I think impossible dreams and lofty goals are a key part of FIRST; the "top" being extremely far away only pushes people farther. - Chris is me [more] |

Re: Vex Slider Parts
I was very excited about the sliders, and I ordered some. I quickly found the same problems that you found (although, I was trying to slide up at an angle which is worse for friction). We asked if we could use some lubricant for the FVC competition, but the answer was a "NO". We quickly moved on to other ideas.
If you are looking to create and elevator mechanism, some teams I have seen use the tank treads as a rack and pinion gear. Good luck!
