As for the moving rack and the hinged lid that would be easy.
I have that one figured out too.
The more I think about it the more ideas come up that are better than the last.
I am even tossing around the idea of springs.
If set on a lever and pivot point correctly the same springs that are used to assist the opening can be used to hold it down.
Then there is the garage door opener idea I an thinking about.
I still have the lead screws and track from one I replaced.
I have mentioned lead screw before.
Here is a lead screw.
