Slide Actuation for Height
accuride 3601 - 28
During the discussion about gaining height and adding "transformer" style unfolding, Dale Heatherington mentioned using drawer slides. I managed to find sample slides from Accuride, they donated model 3601 which is one of their heaviest slides. Two of them will hold 273 lbs and move smothly. I propose using just one of them for the mascot as they are so heavy and strong. There are other offers of slides in the wings and I hope they are better for our purpose, because of the 3601's weight. See the specs , 3601, web
The extended length is 57" and the closed length is 28".
