We have researched cams, linkages, pulleys, acme screws, etc and are wondering what you think the most robust method of rotating a plate would be with very limited resources and no machining capabilities.
Thank you, so much for your time.
Linkage driven by a window motor is a simple way to do this. Linkage is pinned to a disk that is rotating at the end of a shaft. This is the same linkage concept as translating rotational to linear movement. It is essentially two position.
