2-3-2 Motor

I got this motor setup out of a brand new Linear Garage Door Opener.
The opener is rated at 1/2 Hp and can lift up to a 18 foot x 7 foot garage door.
It's more than enough to move the legs.
It already has limit switches built into the drive system.
All I need is to locate another one for the other outer leg.

Mr. Thomas,

I came upon your Blog while looking for R2D2 builders. We at Familab, a makers club are holding Orlando's Mini Makers Faire, May 26th at the Central Florida Fairgrounds. We would like to invite you and your fellow robot builders to show your robots and other items you have made. My name is Mark, email p2mcp@yahoo.com

Thank you,
