Createing a platform for bonus points...

Over the past fiew days, I have come up with some ideas on how to make a platform "unfold" from the top of my robot in order to let two other robots drive up my ramp, and hang out...

One of my insperations include the Mars rovers currently exploring the 4th planet... one of their first actions was to unfold their solar pannels...

However, in my designing... I still haven't come up with a satisfactory device to actuate the unfolding action!!!

I was considering the servoes... but they probably won't supply enough torqe... and then I was thinking of the wormgear ed motors included in the kit... but they would probably have to be geared down additionally. Another thought was rotory pnumatic actuators... however I have no idea how big, heavy, or powerfull they are.

Any gratious professionalism would be gratiously accepted!!!
