[strategic sheep]

I am in total agreement that it is not oriented correctly. It is most likely upside-down, and because of the connectors on it, it seems highly unlikely that it is a robot piece. Instead, it is more probable that this is a field piece, and many of them can be connected with poles that work with the connectors so that they form a sort of track that a ball could roll down. The curved bit on the part between the two poles suggest that there is an allowance for something round to pass above it, so it works quite well logically.
