Invertible Robots

Invertible robots were a reasonably popular type of robot design. They were usually low, to facilitate this ability.

Definition
An invertible robot is one that can run both ways up without a srimech. Some robots are box-wedge shaped like Storm 2 or other designs such as Wheely Big Cheese and Crushtacean. An invertible robot gives the wielder the initial upper hand against flippers as they can run upside down without a separate mechanism for re-righting a robot. Most invertible robots' controllers were equipped with a special switch that would invert the controls to match forward and reverse to the robot's orientation. However a few like Aggrobot simply added a second set of wheels on top.

Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages
 * They could run upside-down without a srimech, leaving extra weight for weapons, motors and armour.
 * Flippers and wedges have little means of offence, as they usually rely on flipping and immobilizing their opponent.

Disadvantages
 * Weaponry is limited for such designs. Overhead weapons and Vertical crushers for instance were impossible to incorporate. In addition, some weapons, like static wedges, could be rendered unusable when flipped over.
 * Invertible robots' tyres were open to attack, as evidenced in Razer's first battle with Tornado.
 * It is disorienting to drive a robot upside-down, especially if the robot looks the same both ways up.
