New Microbot is here - 33% smaller, with longer independent life and new functions!
Microbot is not a drone - once you start it, it will roll out independently searching for enemies, friends or salvageable neutral grids. Once it finds something, it will stop and activate its beacon, notifying you immedietly.
In an attempt to colonize a Mars-like planet these small, independent robots are tasked with survey, prospecting and finally teraforming. This cheap, energy efficient rolling robot is able to look for possible enemies or shipwrecks.
Just turn it on and and it will roll in a circular route, reporting if it finds what you are looking for.
Special "rolling" propulsion:
- Energy efficient = longer independent life - Cannot be flipped - Can traverse very steep slopes - Will generaly stay in the area where it is released, moving in 2km circles
In just 8 blocks the Microbot is equiped with a: - Beacon - Sensor - rolling propulsion - reactor - some rounded heavy armor to help it roll better
Special instructions: - the Microbot will move in a very large circle - you can adjust it using the gyro - don't forget to adjust the sensor settings - Microbot can look for enemies, neutrals, friendly...
Amazingly, no scripts or even mods were used. Enjoy, and hopefully this inspires your own rolling robots. Stay tuned for more terraforming robots.
