Flopper robot-- A robot that starts out in the box, but their auto mode consists of falling down and doing whatever. Example: Team 71 in 2002. The way this class of robots works is: they stand their robot on end to get it in the box, and the wheels are on one side. In the first few seconds, something trips and the robot falls onto its wheels (assuming it works right). The robot then does what it is supposed to do.
