Gameplay

  • Assemble virtual robots from a library of stock parts.
  • Programming robots using a special graphical interface (referred to in the game as "wiring") with a paradigm more based on multicomponent circuitry construction than on traditional programming.
  • Participate in events such as robot battles and racing games with newly programmed robot.

Availability

The game was developed for Microsoft Windows. Add-ons were available to control Lego Mindstorms robots.

The game was ported to Linux by Loki Software and Linux Game Publishing and to the Mac by MacPlay.
