THE DOME OF DOOM!!! lol That's what we called our shimmy guard on last year's bot. Or, alternatively, The Mailbox.

Well, there's the simple and elegant names, such as simply going by "pwned" for example.

If that doesn't work, you might as well make it a paragraph. "So one time we built this robot and we made it a tetrahedron and made it flip stuff and people were all like 'what's a tetrahedron?' and we were all like 'it's a pyramid made of four triangles, yo!' and they were all like 'word.'"

Flipahedron

Gah.. you had a team name all this time and you didn't share it. Well, that helps choose some non shape related names for the bot.

How about Moonlight Marauder?

or with the whole flipping theme,

High Noon's flip-side.

or with the Invention name theme:

Doodad of Doom.
Gizmo of Gloom.

[Travis Hoffman]

Tetracide
Tetracyde
Tetrafied (I believe this is a Steve Warren-ism, as in "That goal is tetrafied!")

Twiggy, the Waterskiing Tetra

[Andy Baker]

After the late-great comedian, you can name this Battlebot Flip Wilson.

[Jeff Rodriguez]

Tetra-nator
