So Here are some pics and I don’t know how to make them flip out when the tilter is going or something else, We changed the tilter and lost the thing we used for the flipout.
Might not be the best pics sorry

How does it fold?
fold them then they flip outward.
You can attach a stand-off or some piece of metal to the back of the tilter that holds the anti-tips in, and when the tilter is raised the anti-tips flip out.

from where? the top? Outside? Inside?
So I fold them inside the robot then they flip out like a door
You could use string. My antitip is held in with string jammed between the tilter gears and releases during deployment

this is probably the easiest way. tie some string to those standoffs, and put the string between your tilter gears. when you tilt for the first time, it will let go of the string and the antitips can spring out.

Ours deploy with rubber bands shoved between two drive train gears so they the released the moment the robot drives forward. But this would only work if you have a geared drive.
could i jam a bubber rand inside the tilter motors then when they release it shoots out?
that could work yes. string is better though since it has no elasticity.
Im confused on string
just tie some string to your antitips. then put the string in between the gears of your tilter. when you tilt forwards, the gears will let go of the string, and your antitips will be free to deploy.

I kinda disagree because the way our rubber band is tensioned, there is no chance it could ever get caught on anything after the deploy. However with string, you pretty much just have a thing of string that may get entangled on something.
that makes more sense. I will try that
