A self-right apparatus is a device for automatically returning an overturned vehicle to an upright orientation. The device features a base plate that is mountable to a vehicle and a flip plate that is hingedly connected to the base plate via a pivot axle. The flip plate is held in place by a trigger mechanism engaged to a catch until the device is ready to be deployed to flip the overturned vehicle. The device utilizes a clutched servo mechanism that is connected to the trigger mechanism. The clutched servo mechanism is actuated in order to release the trigger mechanism from the catch and allow the flip plate to rotate about the pivot axle via force provided by a plurality of torsion springs. The flip plate is pressed against the surface on which the vehicle has become overturned, causing the vehicle to flip and return to its original upright orientation.
