We had a classroom competition a couple years ago and i wanted to use these. Didnt realise that you were ment to make your own threads, so because it wasnt an official game, i was 3d printing parts and a bunch of crazy stuff, one of which you had to tap threads into. I think im much wiser now.
Yeah, it seems like that's most people's experience with these. I don't know if there's any documentation on these from vex themselves, I know my team couldn't find any when we were looking.
From an FTC perspective, it seems crazy the differences in the mechanisms used. This seems so difficult to get a mechanism that in ftc you just buy a kit and assemble it.

thank you so much u practically saved my robotics team

thank you so much because i wanted to use these and i couldn't figure out how

true. ftc has more vendors to choose from and you can use aftermarket slides
Do you have a list of the materials/parts you used
Hello Kepler Electronics, do you happen to have links to the various components used in this tutorial? The gears, and toothed rails, and such?
bruh u found your answer???
Wow clever I can see how to improve by using some sst and grease lubing to have it exceed strength and durability
where can we buy this product?
Hey, is it possible to build 3 stage linear slide. So, like a cascade, except is powered by rack and pinions instead of chains.
It's probably possible, It would probably be slower than a cascade, and potentially require more motors, unless you get creative with your power.
This can also be used as voltage generator.
Great. I can use this to make telescoping crane for school project.
what material and size motor would you recommend to lift 250 lb, please? and great content dude!
Definitely not vex stuff, this can't get anywhere close to 250
Thank you for this video, very helpful!
I'm glad I could help. My team and many others have had a lot of trouble with linear motion, so I figured I'd try and create a tutorial to help. =)
@@KeplerElectronics Very high quality video for a VEX video!
You only need 1 collar to keep the shaft from coming out of the motor.
can you list the items?
So what is the application?

Thank you !!
do you have any pdf plans for this bot?
Can you please elaborate on the question?
@@KeplerElectronics like a guide of intructions to follow to make this, that i can follow online
You should be able to follow the process by watching the video and pausing it. It’s designed in that way.

thx
Or you could make custom sliders like my team...
If you have pictures of these, I'd love to see them! Custom parts are always cool to see in Vex. Gives a bit of flair to the robots.
