ROBOMANIAC FAQ
What Values do Bot Parts (Items) have and what do they mean?
One of the most important parts of ROBOMANIAC is equipping yourself with cool parts that you can buy at places like Scrappy’s. Over the course of the game you can repair, upgrade, or improve them with Fusion Chips.
1 = LEVEL
blue = current Item level, gray = Number of max. possible Upgrades in the Workshop. Upgrades increase the values of the item and restores its condition to 100%
2 = BODY PART
CHASSIS: Legs, wheels, jet propulsion, etc., primarily increases Agility, i.e. your mobility
ARMS: Mostly weapons or tools. Weapons determine your damage
BODY: your torso, primarily increases Strength
HEAD: this is where your main processor is installed, which governs your Intelligence (AI)
ENERGY CELL: Your battery. This component increases your Energy
3 = CLASS
Except for Beginner parts, all bot parts have a class: Trash, Perspective, Rock, Glory, Epic and Legendary. The higher the class, the more it affects the item values when its upgraded. See more details in the Rules » Bot Part Item Classes
4 = PRIMARY & SECONDARY VALUE (ATTRIBUTE)
Bot parts have 1-2 attributes that make your bot stronger. The primary attribute is determined by body part (e.g. legs always have Agility, the secondary attribute can vary.
5 = CONDITION
During battles the condition of equipped items falls a little. If it falls below 10%, the item loses power and you should consider repairing it. At the same time, the item’s “maximum condition” falls a little as well. The item can be repaired up to this max. value. This is where Upgrades are important: They restore both condition and max. value to 100%. But: The number of Upgrades is limited! (See 1 LEVEL)
6 = REQUIREMENTS
Some items have requirements that your bot must meet before it can be equipped, such as a higher League or bot Level. Special Fusion Chips can sometimes help with these…
7 = PRICE
The price, i.e. the theoretical value of an item depends on its condition, class, and attribute values. Of course, Scrappy is going to charge much more than that. That’s where negotiating can help. After you’ve purchased an item, a MouseOver will show its “half value” in Credits, which is the price at which Scrappy will definitely buy the item back.
8 = PICTURE
A pretty picture of the part. In the early days your bot will likely be made up of random junk parts. Later in the game, you’ll be able to upgrade your bot with luxurious and valuable bot parts to earn promotion to the top League.

How does negotiating with Scrappy work?
To understand Scrappy, you need to know his background story: Scrappy is possibly the last human on Centerra… everyone else fled the planet years ago, and Scrappy was… occupied at the time… but that’s another story. The fact remains that he was exposed to dangerous radiation for many years.
He didn’t really have a choice, so he “repaired” his irradiated body parts with Bot technology from the deactivated robots. That’s how he obtained his expert knowledge of Bot technology. Now that the bots are reawakening, he’s opened his shop and started selling his jury-rigged parts.
Deep down Scrappy’s a good person, but he can be quite moody… he wants to decide when to negotiate and when not. By looking at the Negotiation Barometer on his counter, Scrappy indicates his current mood to his customers.
What’s the maximum level my bot can reach?
The current maximum bot level is 100. For each level-up a slightly larger amount of experience points is required. But once you break through this sound barrier though, your bot will be transported to an expanded “god-like” game level.
How many duels can I fight and how often can I be attacked?
A Duel costs 2 Action Points. You can fight as many duels per day as your Action Points allow. However, you can only fight the same bot up to 3 times each day! Additionally, your bot can be attacked up to 12 times per day. If you want to keep this from occurring to protect your equipment for example, you can activate “FREE-O-MODE” from the “DUEL” screen.
When do I receive new Missions?
Every night you’ll receive 2 new Missions, randomly assigned across the 5 sectors. Each sector can hold up to 5 Missions until it’s full. Tip: If you need Missions in a specific sector, let the other sectors “fill up” ...
What are Action Points for and where do I get them?
In the beginning each bot has a maximum of 10 Action Points (AP). Your bot can use these Action Points for Missions and Duels. Duels cost 2 Action Points, and Mission Action Points vary. Every full hour your bot regenerates 1 Action Point automatically.
After leveling up you can increase your AP-Maximum. So, you can decide yourself if you’d like to log on a few times a day to spend your Action points, or if you’d rather relax and collect points and spend them every few days on Duels and Missions.
Nightly League Fight and working simultaneously?
Yep, that’s fine. No matter what job your bot is currently doing, the League Fight is sacred. Every employer on Centerra knows this as well. Each night the bots take a break from work to meet in the Arena, smash each other to bits in League Fights, then head back to work.
Where do I get Uridium?
URIDIUM is a rare and valuable resource that’s hard to come by- for newbies and old wise bots. Every now and then you’ll be paid in Uridium for jobs from your Habitat’s Job Center. You can also get Uridium from Ore Mines Missions beyond the gates of the Habitat, but this involved a certain amount of danger, and is only for brave bots.
Your bot can also earn small amounts of Uridium from League Fights and Duels. And you can earn a Uridium bonus from logging on daily and leveling up.
Where do I get Credits?
Credits are in high demand... you can get them from many parts of the Habitat. The Job Center regularly offers lucrative jobs and you can earn plenty of them from Duels and Missions. There’s also some juicy rewards for leveling up and small Credit bonus for logging on daily.
You can earn additional Credits from trading bot parts at the Auction House. Later, you can “earn” a Credit or two at the seedy “Pub”, but hush-hush… the Centerra Bot Union doesn’t need to know about this...
Where do I get Platinum?
Platinum is available from the Power Plant, where it’s manufactured and sold directly. You can access the Power Plant from the Habitat Menu HABITAT > POWER PLANT or from the Plus-Icon next to the Platinum Display on the top of the screen.
You’ll also randomly receive small amounts of Platinum from logging on daily, or from fights.
Where can I find my USER-ID?
On the bottom right of the game you’ll find a symbol that looks like a cog. That’s how you get to the Game Settings, where you can see your personal "USER-ID", i.e. "GAME-ACCOUNT ID".
