PM me if you want more info/pictures

All thanks go to Brian from 2791 for introducing this to me

So a big thanks to Brent & 1493 here. With his advice we were able to get our 3 intake positions by using 2 large actuators and one small helper actuator. You can see our initial test here: https://youtu.be/1D2Iy8q8ayA We need a slightly longer actuator to bring it back up to full vertical but other than that we're very happy with it.
