Not much to show, But I thought I'd show the changes made to the drive.
I had to drill the holes larger where the threaded rod is sitting at temporarily. I have them there to give me a visual of where the smooth rods will sit.
Drilling the holes larger gave me the means to adjust the rods. I will also be adding 1 threaded rod as the drive in the open area. I had planned on using 2 of the 4 rods for a drive, But that's not working out.
From the new drive rod, There will be a small plate added under the X plate as a hoist to lift the X plate.
I need more parts and this will slow me down for a few days until I get them.

I hope this one isnt giving you as many problems!!! Looks a little simpler too. I'm surprised the Vex one didnt work out. I cant wait to see how your going to wire it up.

Thanks Guys!!
The Vex was too heavy so I started building this idea.
I don't have a pic yet, But the aluminum rods that go where the threaded rods are now weigh nothing.
If I can get this to work, I would like to see someone build this idea. But make it 100% accurate.
