That rules you out then, doesn't it?   ;)

RetroBorg:
I came across these videos showing the opening and closing of the drawer with the control panel flipping up and down.





Just wondering what sort of mechanism do you use to achieve that?

Turnarcades:
Seems Dan hasn't been on for a while, so in his absence, from what I understand from talking to him it's a custom mech they designed or had designed. I played with the mech myself at Replay last year and can tell you it's very smooth and not secretly awkward, but I'm unsure what's actually involved in the mechanism.

Thanks for the reply Turncades, it seems very ingenious.

How did it feel tugging away at the joysticks? Did the drawer want to move at all and did the control panel feel like it would fold down?

Watch her right hand, I'd say there's a lock or a catch mechanism that releases the drawer and "mechanics" inside so the drawer would close. That's just a guess though.
