Not long ago I followed a debate on the use of a voltage regulator with a Lipo battery vs. the use of a 6 volt Nimh. Seems the biggest reason that anyone gave for not using the regulator setup (which is what I use) was that you were introducing another point of failure.
Having said that, I figure that adding a timer to the retract servo circut is nothing more than adding an additional point of possible failure.
So far I haven't seen that side of it in this thread so I thought I would toss it in there.
Just my .01
Good point, but if it can be set up to open normally if the timer fails, then why not?
