After getting the rotation down and all of our code going, we had to figure out how to work out the screen that would cover the laptop. We were using a metal rod that was secured to the servo motor that was hard to configure in a way that would allow the entire screen to flip over. We tested out all sorts of materials, ranging from light paper towels to cardboard, but failed to make any of these work. The problem was that the rod itself would rotate inside of the loop it was fastened into, rather than rotating the material. We fixed this by bending the wire down to loop it in two holes, so it would be stable and rotate the (future) screen cover.
Here are some photos of some very rough experiments. LOL.
