Basic description
This robot can battle in an arena with bullets and mini rockets using an Artificial intelligence combat engine. They can also be remotely controlled to fight battles.
This robot can roam freely within your home skybox or parcel land. Or follow you around or follow other avatars.
The HUD:
On Off: This turns the robot on and off
Fight: Expands a dialog that will give you options to start and stop the AI fighting modes
Start: Will start the AI fighting mode if there are other robots around with the fighting mode set.
Stop: Will stop the fighting mode.
Hide: Will Hide the health floating text above the robot.
Show: Will Show the health floating text above the robot.
Go To: Clicking this will give you a list of names that robot can go and attack. (The robot will make an attempt to navigate its way to the chosen avatar try to avoid obstacles
and launch its attack.) make sure to setup its payload under the controls dialog on the Hud.
Send: Will Send the robot after you have selected the name.
Missiles: Will tell the robot to launch the missiles.
Bullets: Will tell the robot to use the bullets.
Options: Used to set the basic configuration of the robot.
House: Clicking House will set this robot up to function inside your house or skybox after you rezz it simply click the house option then the robot will automatically raise above your floor it will appear to be hovering this is important as to avoid floor collisions this robot will relay on your walls and various objects inside your house to move around. Also It is very important to make sure the land at ground level is flat as the robot reads the ground level to calculate it’s height inside a house or skybox.
Land: Sets the robot up to work on Land this is the best option if you are going to observe the full action of this robot.
Full sim: This option allows the robot to roam freely within the entire sim and ignore parcel boarders.
Current Parcel: This option allows you to restrict the robot to your parcel only. This is not %100 faultless feature there maybe times when it becomes confused and may jump into the next parcel this is why I don’t recommend leaving it rezzed while you are gone as you never know what kind of mischief it will get its self into while you are gone. But if it is confined to a room or skybox leaving it will be fine.
Follow me: This option sets the robot up to follow you where ever you go (This doesn’t include flying or going up steps)
Follow Other: Allows you to command the robot to follow other avatars.
Free roam: This option is the sol reason I built this robot the free roam option gives the robot free will to go off and explore and interact with its world.
Avoid no build: This option will prevent the robot from moving into No object entry and No script parcels and becoming stuck.
Allow no build: This option will allow the robot to ignore No object entry parcels and No script parcels.
Rezz Robot: Will rezz a new robot in front of your avatar
Check For updates: Will check to see if a new version is needed.
Control: Expands a Control dialog that allows you to override the AI of this robot and take full control.
Take: Takes over the controls. So that you can use the standard arrow keys or W,A,S,D and page up and page down to remotely control the robot (Page up will fire bullets Page down will fire missiles)
Release: Releases the controls and sets the robot back into AI mode.
Cam On: Activates a follow camera from your camera’s last position meaning you can adjust your camera to give a more over all view of the robot .
Cam Off: Turns the follow camera off.

Battle bot arena: (Must Be setup on the Land level. This will not work high on platforms!)
This is a simple shielding arena where you can rezz your battle bot inside the glass will prevent the bullets and mini rockets from hitting any one watching the fight. Its not important to use the the arena i have provided you can build your own maybe make one little bigger if you like try different shapes and maybe add some walls and obstacles to make more interesting.

Not what I expected
I guess I can bump my review to 3 stars. After seeing it in action, the product is not so bad if you play with it for a bit. I guess it could be fun but the price should be lower.
