G'day
So, I have to complete a media Assignment, And For one section of the script, it is planned to have a retractable/deployable car spoiler.
the Current plan is to have the spoiler sit flat on the (We call it Boot Here in Aus) Trunk of the car, and when a switch is pressed, the spoiler to rise up.
I know there is probably many ways to cheat this, But I would also like to use this after the assignment, as it just generally seems cool.
Now, I have thought of Many ways to do this, But I am sorta stuck. Firstly, I am only 17, secondly, I have limited experience with Electronics, But I have a generally good concept and can solder, etc, so I would like this to be as simple as possible
My first and only Idea, Is to have the spoiler (Aluminium for us) On two Poles on opposite sides of the spoiler, With Notches cut in so that a gear can push the spoiler up. the Only Problem with this, Is I am not sure how to lock it in place without getting out of the car. But it HAS to be locked and Must stand up to Highway speeds.
Thank you so much for your help
