	Description Edit \| History

Imagine that you're a supercomputer. Now imagine that you're bored. So you dream up a little contest for you and a couple of your supercomputing buddies. Your task is to move one of the stupid little robots out on the factory floor through a series of checkpoints scattered throughout the factory. The wrinkle, however, is that the factory floor is filled with all kinds of inconvenient (if not down-right deadly) obstacles located in various locations: conveyor belts, crushers, flame-throwers, pushers, teleporters, oil slicks, pits, et cetera. But the real fun comes when the robots cross each other's path, and suddenly your perfect route is something less than that...

The game was reprinted by Avalon Hill (Hasbro/WotC) in 2005.

"Powering Down" Tokens

Powering Down tokens word doc. Print and Paste on one side of the Power Down tokens included with the Avalon Hill edition. I find that these help in clarifying during game turns when players are powering down versus being fully powered down. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/763224/roborally

Roborally Master Timing Guide

This file is a complete ROBORALLY MASTER TIMING GUIDE of all Official Roborally board elements as well as all of the Player Created board elements from www.robofactory.de. This is an enhancement of the Official Timing Summary as there are small images for every board element and they are laid out in exact detail to show how and when each board element interacts with all of the others and how they affect the player's robots. This is a companion file to the Robofactory Board Element Reference Chart previously uploaded.
