New bot shape

--- Quote ---So I reversed my thinking, instead of bots acting as the joints between ties, I have bots be the rigid rod and have them form joints with each other.

What about tie feeding?
Botsareus:
Does the new robots have to position itselfs infront or in back of the victum and have zero disitance between them in order to form a tie? It was much easyer before when the robots can attach at any angle with relatively good distance...
Botsareus:
A problem of creating a worm:
A two celled warm is relatively easy:
A robot turns 180 degrees , reproduces , turns 180 degrees back. The baby robot attaches itself to thr back of the parent.
But what about if a warm consists of 3 or more cells. That means that the first two cells bouth have to rotate 180 degrees etc.
Solution:
Make the robot have a spesial command that makes its head and the eyes fase the back or the front. Also please don't forget about slanted shots. This means: The shot can come from the front slanted up or down Or from the back slanted up or down.
Numsgil:
Ties and connections will be distinct ideas. Ties will work pretty much like now. You'll need to face the thing you want to tie to. You'll need to be within a certain distance. But you only get one tie.
Connections, like forming a worm, are a separate issue and feature. Most likely, here's what happens:
1. Reproduction works by taking an elongated bot in the shape of a capsule, and cleaving it in two. Probably with the child bot's head being your old butt. This way reproduction is always possible because the parent and child will take up the same physical space.
2. Connections can be formed (probably can only be formed. Still working out the logistics) by short-circuiting the reproduction process, so the child bot doesn't fully separate from the parent bot. So in short forming a worm should be relatively easy. Making the worms' cells work together is another issue entirely.
So in short, ties won't have anything to do with forming multibots. They'll be separate ideas.
