Hello I was wondering if the Aluminum Extrusion could be use for a linear lift system for a FTC Robot ?

Re: Aluminum Extrusion
It should be legal under R04.a of this year's rules.

Sure. It is the same extrusion profile as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eT2WtyBzk

Re: Aluminum Extrusion
I can't design it for you. But you will definitely want to get an assortment of M4 screws and T-nuts. The R1W design appeared to use coupling plates as guides. You would probably also want some 'L' and/or 'T' plates to mount it to your robot.
