Retractable Base Stabilizers
The TWYST features three retractable stabilizers at its base, designed to provide enhanced stability on uneven surfaces. To deploy, gently pull each stabilizer outward from the base until it locks into position. To retract, push them back into the base until they are flush with the body.
