Where are the instructions for this kit please? We've got ours and are ready to get it built. We've never used Servo City parts/pieces before. An instructional video would be super as our team is majority freshmen and sophomores.
Hi Steve, our apologies for the delay. Here is the link to our assembly video. Please let us know should you have any additional questions 620.221.0123 or tech@servocity.com - we'd be glad to help! ua-cam.com/video/rfAn9HiVaBI/v-deo.html
Is the Actobotics cascading x-rail slide kit considered legal for FTC competitions (Relic Recovery), i.e. one-degree of freedom, etc.? Has this been confirmed by anyone from FTC? Thanks.
Yes, you can cut the X-Rail and re-tap the cut ends. Re-tapping is relatively easy as the X-Rail has holes through the entire length that are the appropriate size for a 6-32 tap. Here is another video you might find helpful. ua-cam.com/video/rl_8cObnl1E/v-deo.html Feel free to reach out should you have any other questions tech@servocity.com.
We apologize for the delay. Please email our technical department with the specs of your project and they can help determine whether this kit would be a good fit for your project.
The setup shown in the video does not have a powered retract. Feel free to email tech@servocity.com should you have any other questions and we'd be glad to help.
hmmm. I wonder where you got that foam cube... :)
I genuinely want to know how to build this. It's really useful and I haven't seen any other linear slides that rely on gravity
Cool prototype guys. I can see that a bit bigger for a robot I'd like to design.
Please list the parts (with links) you're using to connect the Motor to the X-Rails... thank you!
How do you get it to retract without the string slipping?

Hi Kraken Pinion! Please refer to game manual section 8.3.2. The manual lists that linear slides are allowed single degree of freedom parts.
I was wondering for my robotics team would it be possible to cut all the metal pieces shorter and still have it function just not reach as high?
Yes, you can cut the X-Rail and re-tap the cut ends. Re-tapping is relatively easy as the X-Rail has holes through the entire length that are the appropriate size for a 6-32 tap.

can this be used to build an extending dining table ?

why do you need tubing on the slides?
