Weeble Antenna
Overview
The weeble antenna is a self-righting antenna that is able to be thrown or roughly handled and still remain upright. The idea is that it can be thrown to a high place and then easily recovered. More can be found here: Weeble Antennae
Progress
Physical prototype complete. I have a test-bed that I can now use to build and test a functioning prototype.
