Ok, video #1 (RocketSystem.mov) shows the prototype for the rocket platform
This was made with scrap parts from my man-cave, and an old servo that I lobotomized, and finally a DPDT switch that is wired to switch polarity. Will provide all schematics for wiring the switch setup, templates for the linkage and how to place the servo.
By lobotomizing a servo, this means that the servo is disassembled and the motor is disconnected from the PCB and the POT... so basically the lead wires are run straight off of the internal DC motor... so this renders it a dumb motor that has a gear box, and is controlled by a polarity reversing DPDT (double pole, double throw) momentary ON switch.
