JohnP now that sounds like it would work without having to use a lot of electronics like you say. Im trying to keep my project plain and simple with very little components. I was looking at wookies forward /reverse / off motor driven circuit see it here ---> http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37373&d=1323202412
which can work as well, but now I like your idea about the "crank rocker" mechanism with less electrical components.
I would still like to add a "Random timing circuit" where when the target is knocked down it won't immediately pop up but instead pop up at a random time between 3 to 10 seconds.
If i have a simple 2 wire geared DC motor how can i wire it up for this configuration along with the Random 3 to 10 second timer?
