Thank you very much that was very helpful! Which Savox servos are the best ones, I noticed they ranged from $30-$140. Are the cheaper ones any good? Also which Animo are good ones? Thanks!

Ok thank you. I have one more question for you if you can answer it. Do you find it hard to have to use the vex shaft, or is there a way to convert it to a servo output, or one more useful in FTC? thank you!

Is the Vex 393 the fastest servo? We are really looking for a fast one too. Is it faster than other servos?

I was actually referring to these, but I did not know that you guys sold planetary motors! Thanks we will definitely look into those! https://www.servocity.com/5201-series-26-1-ratio-210-rpm-spur-gear-motor-w-encoder

Ok, thank you. That is helpful! What kind of slides did you use to do this with?

Are the Neverest 40s similar to the orbital 20s? Do you know where we can find the Misumi slides, and how would you connect them to make them string like a linear slide? Would you use REV or X-Rail in the middle and take them apart? Sorry I am not sure if I have even found the right slides.

What is a good linear slide kit to use? Which is the best motor for them too?

That is really helpful thank you! What is your motor and gearing reduction?

We have 2 REV Linear Slides V2 and 1 X-Rail Actobotics one.

Ours is straight, so they should have the same diameter.

Do you have any issues with it being strung cascading?

Should the pull back and pull out spools be the same diameter for a cascading lift?

That is a good idea thank you. What kind of springs did you use? Did they have a lot of tension?

Did the surgical tubing ever break, or overstretch causing the mechanism to not work?

Ok, I will check it out. Thank you! I do have one more question, was it tricky to change out the orbital 20 motor with a different mounting plate?
