Its dynamics can be described by nonlinearly coupled pitching, rolling, and spinning modes. The chirality, designed into the body as a skewed mass distribution, manifests itself in the quicker transition of $+$spin $\\rightarrow$ pitch $\\rightarrow$ $-$spin than that of $-$spin $\\rightarrow$ roll $\\rightarrow$ $+$spin. The curious guiding idea of this work is that we can formulate the dynamics as if a symmetric body were moving in a chiral space.
