Robots on the Line

Players work in a robot factory, selecting refurbished and outdated parts from two conveyor belts to assemble robots for waiting buyers. Heads, bases, arms, hands, batteries, antennas, and magnets are combined to meet specific requirements, while switches determine which parts can be taken and unwanted pieces are discarded into a junk pile. Completed robots are sold for money when they match a buyer’s needs, with additional payments for bonuses such as medical, military, or cleaning functions. Players may trade parts, search the junk pile, and pay to change switches. The game ends when the parts run out or a player builds three robots, and the player with the most money wins.
