I had thought of a way to self right my original conker design.
Its basically a spring loaded pin on one side of the robot that you crank down using a small motor, you then fire it and the pin slams into the ground turning the robot over. It does have flaws but it can be made very light weight and in a very small space which seems to be what you are after.
Maybe that will spark off some other ideas :-)

Servo won't work... 17kg is rated at 10mm from the centre of the output shaft... Devide that over the length of your arm or whatever your having and the force becomes pretty weak.
360s setup is pretty complex due to it having to fit in a wierd orientation... Astroflight coupled to a custom 2 stage worm reduction and a 3rd stage spur gear setup giving it 900:1.
Glens robot deamon in aus has a pretty slick setup that works well... I'll let you google it.
Maybe one of the lowest geared banebots planetary p60 gearboxes could also work.
Beat me to it lol
Kenny: cheers for such a detailed reply, realised I failed to take that into account
Dave: I'll check out that system, see what's what on it yet I'll look into using one of those or something similar, not sure what yet but these things take time
Cheers all :D
You could just use hoops
Ive thought about it and may consider doing so but a hoop system is not going to work everytime
Hoops and a spring? Its expensive to go down the massively reduced motor option but we don't know your budget so it may be an option for you. Its certainly the most effective and reliable method from what we have seen in the past
