This is my new idea, with borrowed key concepts from other tanks. <table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https:// picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ IJw3kxDz_8jgRsJsTTdhtQx3Q4trMxrOrxTYN8o46xQ?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/__ZbhpEAws18/TXmqQ_OV7tI/ AAAAAAAAADM/mUyoXSVR5j0/s144/Cam%20Down%2C%20Gun%20Up..jpg" height="108" width="144" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font- family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/109147730611355671707/Tank? authkey=Gv1sRgCILD2IvX3KCSHQ&feat=embedwebsite">Tank</a></td></tr></ table>
This should allow me to use the barrel's weight to lower the gun, and the cam will elevate it. I'm using a cam from above so that when the barrel rotates to the rear it can just 'ride' the rear deck without binding up the servo. I will set up a spring system to counter balance the barrel just enough so that the servo won't be killing itself to elevate.
