Physics and Sound Effects

This update adds sound effects to the game along with some major physics improvements. Motors and pistons have been improved. Robots should now drive straighter and pistons should move now with more power and at a smooth speed. The new motor system also allows for different wheel speeds with different main bodies so the larger more powerful main bodies will now drive robots faster.

This update will affect robots performance on levels so currently the bonus time goal objective may be unattainable in some levels. This will be balanced in a future update along with some of the other side objectives.

Changes have also been made and new references have been added into the dictionary for language packs. To add them to an existing pack either copy the pack using the ingame option or add the references manually (listed below).

The next update will rework the snap line and anchor point menus along with an accompanying tutorial to explain how to use them effectively.
