Invertibility

Young humanoid discovered a sumo robot contest on a website (http://www.mindstorms.com/ again), so he decided to build a sumo robot to enter. This is what he came up with.
Why was this unique? It was invertible, which meant that it could run when it was flipped over. Young humanoid named it "Invertibility." For the relatively creative idea, the program for this robot was horrible, young humanoid realized later that it would make the robot do exactly what it was not supposed to do: Drive out of the ring.
