Extention rig needs builder - for pay

[Harmonic_Distortion]

OK guys. Surely someone here on these wonderful boards knows how make something like what I need.

Basically what I need is for a small shuttle to go from one end of a track on a switch push - and back on a switch push. Sounds easy, right? I'm sure it's not. Which is why I need to hire someone.

There are 2 ways this could be made:

#1 Electric motor & Accordion

This version requires rigging a small electric motor to an accordion contraption.

I know the battery / battery connector / switch contraption can all be bought at RadioShack because it's used for powering computer fans in mascot costumes.

Once the accordion is extended it needs to be able to lock in an out position and retract somehow (either by spring or by reversal of the motor).

What I need is someone who can identify the right motor and how to attach it to the accordion hinge.


#2 Electro-Magnet version

In this version, two opposing electro-magnets pull a rod backward and forward.

Surely one of you smart fellows can do this? Thanks!

I'll pay for parts and for your services.

Gungrave...have you alerted a mod to your problem? Might be better than bumping up 3 year old threads....
