This uses 2 servos to move a webcam in 2 axis. This will be able to track a face when detected.

Designed the base.
I had a spare webcam lying around, so I decided that it'd be pretty cool to have a tracking webcam. After doing some research, I found out that many more expensive webcams have this feature. Honestly, I wouldn't pay five times the amount of money just for that feature. With most of the hardware needed, I could just make it myself.
I plan to build this with an HS-422 servo, an SG90 servo, and an ESP32. The x-axis servo will be at the base and will be the HS422. The y-axis servo will be the second servo and will be the SG90. In SolidWorks, I've designed the base, which will contain the servo. The ESP32 will probably be out of the enclosure to make it easier to power.
