So I've decided to make this transforming hammer, and I'm going to need to some help with terminology and figuring out how to make it since I'm a newbie to this sort of thing.
Basically, the hammer transforms from a "hammer form" to a "cannon form", where the sides split apart and slide out and down and 4 telescopic cylinders come out. I believe that it's triggered by the red lever just under the hammer head either twisting, or squeezing it in as a switch.
Now I have an idea of how it will move, but I don't have much of a clue what parts to use to make it move or what they would be called. I'll probably need some sort of linear actuator or slide to make the sides split apart. Maybe a stepper motor for making them open up.
Any help at all would be appreciated!
