Robits Compact Linear Slide

Specifically designed for FTC, (though not limited to FTC), this remarkable system is a quick way to execute a controlled extension. Each stage of the Compact Linear Slide is controlled by a pulley system that can be rigged to power both extension and retraction. This is the second version of the AM Compact Linear slide, with Robits design ideals integrated. The inline stringing removes any tensioning spring requirement. The slide to pully holder attachment has been redesigned and improved.
