Claim 12:
13. A rotary mixer machine, comprising:
a frame;
a rotor configured to spin to break up and pulverize one or more layers of materials from a ground surface;
a mixing chamber operably coupled to the frame and at least partially surrounding the rotor;
one or more actuators coupled to the mixing chamber and to the frames, wherein the one or more actuators correspond to one or more first actuators and one or more second actuators;
a controller configured to:
receive an input from an input device;
activate the one or more second actuators in response to the input to raise the mixing chamber up to a predefined height threshold with respect to a ground surface; and
activate, once the mixing chamber is raised up to the predefined height threshold, the one or more first actuators in response to the input to induce a forward and backward rocking motion in the mixing chamber, the forward and backward rocking motion being executed between a first position and a second position about an axis disposed transversally to a length of the rotary mixer machine.
