I really looked at the build posts and this is EXACTLY what I was thinking for some time now....using a rack and spur gear set up with the spur gear stationary in the middle. This is great because you proofed the idea I had and did an awesome job creating it. You also solved something else I was thinking, how to stop it before it goes too far out....a limit switch (face palm). I can use a simple micro roller snap action switch from RadioShack. The only thing I would do differently is incorporate a rechargeable drill battery pack. I must say this is inspiring me to create one. I can't wait to finish college (Engineering Degree) in Sept. This will be my next project when I'm done. You have inspired me big time.
It is so awesome how smooth it extracts and retracts.....you would think the thing came out of the movie. Thanks for sharing all fo this with us.
