So... with a little bit of tweaking and the implementation of the suggestions I've received- the horrible mess of friction and sadness that I posted last week has become my first working prototype!

I added a roller bearing to the hump which makes contact to the ramp. This allowed the cam to actually move... once I also installed a high torque servo. Even with the bearings, it still makes this awful grinding sound. But it'll get better form here.

My next order of business is to actuate the spring loaded tongue (which is now buried in the mess of revisions I've made). =/ More coffee first.

Tasting Feet : Retractable Motorized TOE Success!

The CAM concept was a success! It is still a tad grind and chafie... and it took an actual high torque motor to make it work in the end... but it's my first working proof of concept and it will only get better from here. YAY My next goal is to get the tongue working!
