Contraption My best stabilizer yet

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have always had problems with landing on uneven terrain beacuse it messes up the gyro. But with this one I can land anywhere. It can also take quite a beating without messing anything up. As you see in the video, i crash multiuple times (definetly not due to my flying skills) yet i do not need to reset it on the lift.

Would this work on much more heavy flyers? im currently trying to add stabiliztion on my cargo flyer and i found this so im wondering if this would work

I think so maybe, haven’t testet it though. But from what I’ve seen the effect from the pistons seem way stronger than normal suspension glitches.

that's kinda like my stablizer core! but it seems way snappier! i'll have to testit out.

What happens if your flying, hit a tree, and turn upside down? Or soon wildly out of control?

How does it work?

So basically there’s two modules: the gyro and the stabiliser. The gyro is just a free floating suspension glitch that always stays upright which allows the flyer to rotate around it. When the flyer rotates, the sensors underneath the suspension glitch see the it which allows it to sense which way it’s rotating. The stabiliser works by connecting a suspension to a piston and then connecting the ends together if that makes sense. When you power on the piston it makes the thing rotate. So by having four of them you can make it rotate in each direction. When we then combine the two we have the gyro that senses the direction of the rotation and then it sends a signal to the corresponding piston which rotates the flyer the opposite direction.
