Re: How do you build telescopes/forklifts?

One thing my old team used to do a lot was build telescoping sections by interfacing 8020 with a delrin slider (you can see the result relatively well here). Overall, it was simple to implement and mounting pulleys was easy.

If someone optimized the weight, and figured out how to reduce binding more, this design could work pretty efficiently.
