Flip

The Flip, called the Flipper Expansion by Ravensburger, is an Expansion component that flips a marble up and backwards.

Function
The Flip is a green spring-loaded mechanism mounted on a tile with only one opening. When a marble rolls into this opening and under the primed Flip, it releases the mechanism. The Flip quickly carries the marble up and backwards at a fast pace, launching it with quite some momentum in the opposite direction one level above.

There is a slight margin of error with this component, meaning that it will still function as intended even if it is not precisely level with the track it is flipping the marble onto. It must be reset before every use by returning it to its primed position, otherwise any marbles that roll into it will simply come to a stop beneath it.

Obtaining
Like almost all Expansion components, this piece can only be obtained in its own set, the Flipper Expansion. Only 1 component comes in that set.
