Hello group!

Thanks for your input on my previous message (first robot) your input was very helpful.

I need to locate a telescoping rod that I can control with a stamp.· Ideally, I have to be able to make the rod go up and down then lean forward at approximately a 35 to 50 degree angle.· Once I figure out the mechanism (and source for purchase) I can handle the programming end of it.· Any suggestions.·

Thanks in advance,

Peter

    Depending on the amount of room you have, a possible solution could be an
    auto power antenna attached to a tilting mechanism. You could get one new
    from Radio Shack or used from an
    auto salvage yard.
