Electromechanical grill block gizmo

I'd like to ask for help. I'm thinking about making an electromechanical grill block, but I'm not too hot with the electromechanical part. I do know a little about electricity and even less about electrics, so let's assume I'm starting from zero.

What I'd like to know is how to make a device that will slide to the open position when a current is turned on, and slides closed when it turns off. Let's say I want to use an electric motor from an RC toy car, and the voltage will be 12VDC.

The more help (diagrams, pictures, etc.) the better, but any help will be good.

Thanks,
--Adam
