This method works seamlessly with any of Misumi's Slides, including the dual-stage SAR 210-250 series and the three-stage SAR 310-350 series. This method also used GoBilda as a build platform, but will work with any REV, Tetrix, or AndyMark robotics sets as well. Today, I’ll be demonstrating with the Misumi SAR 330.
