(Inherits from bot part)
They work as airfoil surfaces, converting movement through water, air and space into a force perpendicular to the direction of motion and a drag force.
Similarly to an aircraft wing, the greater the angle between the fin and the air, the greater the perpendicular force and drag become.
Usage[]
Fins are commonly used to provide control over orientation to flying bots, as propeller blades or as dampeners against movement inertia.
