Classification: CPC B  F | IPC F

Claim 14:
15. The apparatus of claim 6, comprising:
a shaft bidirectionally rotatable around an axis;
a clutch selectively coupling the reel of material to the shaft,
the clutch to include a first mode and a second mode,
the first mode to rotationally couple the reel of material to the shaft, and
the second mode to decouple the reel of material from the shaft;

a brake coupled to the reel of material, the brake to prevent unwinding of the reel of material when engaged,
the operation of the brake to include a first mode and a second mode,
the first mode to disengage the brake from the reel of material, allowing the reel of material to rotate, and
the second mode to engage the brake with the reel of material, preventing the reel of material from rotating;

a motor connected to the shaft, the motor to bidirectionally rotate the shaft around the axis,
operation of the motor rotating the shaft in a first direction to simultaneously expand a first multiplicity of eversion-based actuators in the plurality of eversion-based actuators,
the clutch and operation of the brake to determine whether the eversion-based actuator expands with rotating the shaft in the first direction, and
the operation of the motor rotating the shaft in a second direction opposite the first direction to simultaneously contract a second multiplicity of eversion-based actuators in the plurality of eversion-based actuators; and

a processor to:
set the brake to operate in the second mode, thereby preventing the reel of material from rotating upon intaking the fluid, and
cause the pressurized chamber to intake the fluid.
