Chutes and ladders

We acquired a drawer slide for Sonic. We plan to use this slide to reach the third and final level of the rack, thereby completing the arm of our robot. The first major challenge is deciding where to place the slide on the robot, balancing stability and functionality. We decided to initially attach it to the top of the arm and proceed from there, moving the arm if it proves too unstable. In the future we will need to drill additional holes in the slide to attach it firmly, but this arrangement seems promising.
