That is why I said a R/C Servo. Its small can fit behind the crash bar if its there. And I was thinking more about this. But also if need be you can bend the plate so it fits. Either way with a track system that lets the plate slide up and down. You can mount two Servos up in the bumper and have them pull the plate up and down. Either way I think it will work. You are thinking to far into this man. Only problem I can think of is to get the servos to move.

I thought about using 2 servos because I notice they are small and lack much power, but it all depends on the speed consistancy. If you mount a servo on each side of the plate, it is possible for the plate to come down at an angle because of two various speeds. I don't really think this would be much of a problem though, it was just a though.

I found a place that sells different size servos and I was planning on heading over there tomorrow and really getting this thing started. My next step is figuring out how to connect the brackets from the plate to the servo. I haven't decided how I want the gears to move the plate.
