Default Anything like an arm to flip back over?

I do a lot of FPV, which means I’m pretty frequently far from the vehicle.

It seems like it’d be possible to build an arm to flip the vehicle back over. Not that it’d be common, but RC people are pretty creative, and someone much smarter than me must’ve experimented with this before...

How ‘bout a roof lid that flips the vehicle back over.

You could rig up some linear servos.

You can install a gimble and get head tracking on your goggles so you only need one cam.

I wonder if you could somehow implement Traxxas self-righting technology.

Here's the link since embedding videos is suddenly not working again: https://traxxas.com/products/models/self-righting
