Problem - objects end up mirrored after a flip action
Solution - Chained Actions! 🔗

Note that the logo and foot pedals retain their orientation after a flip action. A bit of Parametric Wizardry! 🧙🏻

Multi-directional stretch actions 🔀
One direction is easy.
Multiple directions without breaking the block is the hard part.
This is part of my dynamic block series.
