1. An apparatus comprising:
a structure;
a foundation; and
a support system that couples the structure to the foundation;
wherein the support system comprises two support arms coupled to the foundation, and each support arm comprises a first segment; one or more movement arms coupled to the structure, and each movement arm is coupled to a movement element; the two support arms are configured to pivot in a support plane and the one or more movement arms are configured to pivot in a movement plane, and the support plane intersects the movement plane; the structure is configured to move between a retracted position and an extended position in a substantially linear path; when the structure is moved from the extended position to the retracted position, each first segment rotates away from the foundation; the foundation further comprises at least one foundation attachment that couples the support system to the foundation; each foundation attachment is configured to rotate in relation to the foundation; and rotation of each foundation attachment causes rotation of the support system.
