Oh... my bad. I didn't realize that the knowledge part was just a plan. 

[Diakron]

Junkyard!!! HOOOOOOoooo!!!!!!

[Criptfeind]

Lets make a ankle biter just in case.

[Acanthus117]

we should get more parts first. Do we need to study our programming books first or something before we use programming?

[Diakron]

nah just a few vials of base, dog takes one ot the head and you'll have a puddle where it use to be

[Cheddarius]

Why, Absolutely nothing if we keep our 1 Inch Crescent Wrench handy at all times.

I keep my "1 inch crescent wrench" handy at all times, if you know what I mean.
D-don't make fun of me! I have hormonal problems!

Anyway, Panda already said we can't even make a rudimentary AI. Best we can do is get the robot to constantly charge straight ahead, pathetically stabbing at a wall in a poignant display of robot, and indeed human, futility.

[Pandarsenic]

Diakron, you'd need a Purified Base or at least a High-Concentration Base to get that strong of an effect.

Books:

A book allows you to use a level 0 (unlearned) SCIENCE! like you have level 1 in it as long as the book is available, though it'll take a little longer to do so.

Advancing to level 1 and then to level 2 is pretty easy. Things go a bit slower getting levels 3-5, then difficulty goes up noticeably again at 6-7. 8, 9, and 10 each take a substantial length of time as well.

Also, level 2 PROGRAMMING will get you rudimentary autonomy in your robots, as far as them being able to learn basic "let's not run into walls" and such. Which is why you probably should've taken that and not BIOLOGY as a secondary.

Coding your first bot will get you level 1; coding the parts for a second will almost certainly bring you up to level 2. Remaking the same code doesn't give you extra practice with it though, you can't just code the same robot over and over and gain levels infinitely.

[Diakron]

we will just have to deal with the mistake of our forebears

So... can we get to the junkyard already?

[Acanthus117]

Okey, so go to junkyard and see if we can get free parts, THEN use a book.

[Criptfeind]

I am thinking we should make and code a bot first than go.

[Cheddarius]

Why don't we just code it without making it?
EDIT: Or if that's not possible, make it, code it, then dismantle it for parts as it's really dumb (you'll lose solder but oh well)?
Or make it, code it, then re-code it with our improved programming skill?

[xtank5]

Because we need something to test the code on.

This. Besides, even if it isn't very useful we could probably trade the anklebiter for free reign of the junkyard. (hey, if I worked in a junkyard I would be more than happy to accept a fun little robot for payment.)

[Criptfeind]

Because we need something to test the code on.

Pretty much what I was thinking.

We can either make-code-dismantle, or make-code-recode-recode again if level gained-sell
