This single switch controls the entire retract and fire mechanism, since the cho cho only rotates once per cycle it is just as easy as running till the switch is hit, then stopping.
When the fire button is pressed the shooter pulses forward for .25 seconds, waits .25 seconds for the action to cease, then runs until the switch is hit again.
I have yet to see a simpler method.
