DESCRIPTION

Similar to the BattleBots competitions televised on Comedy Central, RoboForge allows players to design combat-oriented robots and enter them in online tournaments. The process of designing a robot is broken down into three stages: Construction, Training and Testing.

During the Construction phase, players put together their robot piece by piece in a 3D environment, selecting from a variety of Sensors, Joints, Controllers, Energy Generators, Weapons and Shields. Textures and colors are fully customizable. Once your robot is complete, it's on to Training.

Training is where players develop offensive and defensive moves by stringing together a series of movements. The physical attributes of the robot determine the effectiveness of a move. Then the robot's AI is programmed using a cause-and-effect system.

Testing takes place offline against training robots. In this mode, players can test out their robot's skills, AI and move effectiveness. If something needs to be changed, it's back to Construction or Training.

The culmination of this effort is the tournaments, which are held online against other RoboForge players. Amateur players can participate for fun, and professional players can complete in pay-for-play tournaments that offer cash prizes. ~ All Game Guide
