Pressure (Active)
Pressure is a rear-hinged pneumatic flipper. It weighs 500g, and is driven directly by 2 M motors. It has a grand total of 3/4 flips and 3 'lifts'. This means it can only self right within it's three flips.
While it is underpowered, it is a testament to what can be done within 500g as it is a pneumatic flipper that works, and rather well at that. It may not keep going for forever, but it goes. It took me three tries to get this robot right and the effort was worth it.
