Hello!
I'm currently in the process of making a moving cosplay prop, and as a perfectionist, I'd like it to move exactly like the original. Kind of like in this animation:

The problem I've stumbled upon, is how to make it sequencial and working on a single motor, so that it moves the same way back and forth. The prop will be made of cardboard, some thin lightweight wood (2mm) and EVA foam, so I think one or two motors should be able to handle it no problem.
The worst part is, the sequence is supposed to start from the element furthest away from the motor itself. I could kind of cheat it out and make small servos for each section, controlled in sequence by an arduino or something, but I think there should be a mechanical way to solve this..
I'm not too advanced in english technical terms, so for complex things, pictures or pseudo blueprints would be appreciated ^^"
Thank you in advance
