  • Description
  • What's in the Box?
  • Documentation

  • 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 latest 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.

    Options:

    • 1 Stage has 12.18 inches of stroke
    • 2 Stage has 24.37 inches of stroke
    • 3 Stage has 36.56 inches of stroke
    • Additional Stages
      • AndyMark officially supports a 3 stage system however teams may elect to add additional stages to increase reach.
      • Load limit of 25 lbs

    Suggested Rigging:

    • Continuous
      • One string per direction that connects through each stage
      • For more details, see the assembly guide and video

    Included Powering/Gearing:

    • NeveRest Hex 13.7 to 1:
      • Speedy, approximately 1 second per stage at full speed.
      • Enough torque to easily lift multiple stages with a manipulator and game pieces
    • No Motor Options have no motor included. They are compatible with NeveRest Hex Gearmotors.
      • For lower load applications, a lower ratio gearmotor like a 3.7 or 13.7 is ideal.
      • For higher load applications, a larger ratio gearmotor like a 19.2 or 50.9 is ideal.

    Further rigging assembly details can be seen in this video.
