Mocked up due to lack of time, money, and materials.

I ran out of steam last night to get the light added.

This is more of a space/motion mockup test fitting for Marble City Comic Con next weekend. By the end of the weekend I should know for sure whether or not this unit is stout enough for the next addition: a second servo for tilt functionality.

I am using a push button servo control board from sparkfun on this. Great in that it does not have to be programmed to work. You just set the potentiometers(POTS) add a push button switch and you are good to go.

I am adding this separately as this is a good showcase on what you can do if you have no knack for coding.

OK basic build is done. And I would stress on the basic part. I will have to pull a late night just to get things done...

OK the temporary setup worked OK. The hitech hg645 servos withstood abuse, the occasional knock. Wood was a great medium for housing the servos and brackets.
