Hey Fredrik..  

I saw this 12" linear actuator in the back of the latest Make.. and it seems 
perfect to open the lid of your RC-cooler-bot:

Though even with a 12" travel.. you still might need some type of cantilever 
or leverage arrangement to get the 2-2.5ft movement range for the lid 
movement.

If you don't go with a linear actuator.. I might also go with a low 
speed/stepper motor, big bike sprocket and chain.
