event timer for turning target for pistol shooting

I am new here, and am developing a pistol shooting event timer that
drives a R/C transmitter to rotate a target and a voice playback IC
to issue range commands.The turning target is driven by a cordless
screwdriver thru a R/C reciever scrounged from a radio shack toy
car. The transmitter works fine but I want a cordless battery
opperated device that will give the voice commands and control the
r/c transmitter. I think stamp 2 is the answer - anyone work out a
sequencing program that I can addapt to my project? The time
duration for each shooting sequnce is about 30-45 seconds and then
is repeated a second time with a selectable 10 or 20 second shooting
period. I use to program in basic on my TRS80 back in the early
eighties but am more than a little rusty and a bunch older.

    I recently built a target control for our indoor range
    that uses a keyfob trasmitter, a voice module for the
    commands, and a BasicStampII to control it all. The
    targets are turned with 110 VAC solenoids though a
    solid state relay controlled by the stamp. If you are
    interested in how I did it let me know.

    I am always interested in custom applications such as your project.

    Please give more detail how you did it, challenges etc.

    Hey Ray...
    I've tried to email you off list, but it always
    bounces back. Could you send a note to
    lewm@s... on your regular account, and we'll
    get together.
