Sliding mechanism for 20mm aluminium extrusion

thingiverse

This is a fundamental component engineered to glide along 20mm aluminum extrusion. I designed this for my FRC robotics team, The JaXon Falcon Works 6635, for our arm that will stretch to secure a hook on the rung during the final climb of the game. Our lift is engineered to elevate the hook upwards, not carry the weight of the robot, so the 3D printed components will not compromise strength-wise. The hook will be attached to two nylon straps connected to a winch, allowing the arm to release the hook once it's on the rung, then the winch will pull the robot up. Uses M4 screws to connect to the extrusion and M3 to connect attachments to the sides. Printed in Taulman Bridge Nylon.
