Flipper- electric power

[ady]

With prodigy coming together now, i am not too hot on co2 powered flippers, so was wondering has their ever been any hw with elctric powered rams, if their are such a thing, and if so would it be any good for mainly self righting or at least turning another over?

or linear actuators like Biohazard uses


Found these at ayrshire robotics on ways to use a motor and screw type design.

M2 has an electric powered flipper. Can flip once every 2 seconds, I believe.

Must be thinking of a dif m2

I think M2s flipper is low pressure pneumatic, not electric.

I was referring to season 7 M2. Pearce said it had an electric flipper, but that was the old one.
