[Duke 2.0]

 I second the idea of a helperbot. Would help a lot with working around the lab and getting some practice in.

[GlyphGryph]

Armok, we have no biology! We wouldnt know the first thing about growth pods.

[Cheddarius]

I'm thinking some sort of robot with test tubes and things to do chemistry for us; we'll just shout it instructions. That way, if we accidentally make fuming acid or something, we'll be safe.
But firstly, maybe perform credit card fraud on the laptop?

[Pandarsenic]

Actually, your BIOLOGY is better than your programming.

Solder lets you combine parts - you could attach the two remote control car chassis if you so desired. The second motor is in case you want your bot to be capable of some elementary stabbing. Circuitry is for making or improving control units; you need more for additional stuff at higher levels.

A DESIGN STRIKES YOU!

You realize a way to optimize the stabbing motion and wheels to come off the same motor!

"The Anklebiter" - Remote-controlled assault vehicle
Requires: Control Unit, 1 Small Chassis, 4 wheels, one electric motor, digital camera, assorted stabbing implements, 3 copper wire

You may adjust this design as you wish, or invent something else. Also, searching your lab may allow you to cannibalize other things into robot parts such as the aforementioned pipes, ropes, buckets, and cans.

Just be careful not to dismantle anything important in your lab if you do

Ninja'd by Cheddar: You would be better off doing the CHEMISTRY stuff yourself, really. The robot has minimal dexterity at this point. Also, you can't program even rudimentary AIs or speech recognition yet. That comes at level 2 programming. :L

Credit Card Fraud, in addition to being out of your reach, also requires an internet connection, which you can't presently afford.

[Cheddarius]

Dang, catch-22.
Can we advertise as a programmer? Maybe get a day job?

I think we should get very wealthy legitimately, or at least inconspicuously, before we do anything big. If we start stabbing people in the streets first thing, we'll just get arrested.

[Pandarsenic]

You stroke your villainous goatee angrily. CURSE THEM FOR FORCING YOU TO THIS!

A legitimate day job is beneath you, surely! Such a thing would hurt your PRIDE, increasing your MADNESS.

Instead, here you are, squatting in a basement of a tenement in a Los Angeles slum with a makeshift "workshop" consisting solely of a metal table.

You could search the tenement for other parts, but it's rather cold out there and you're warm and near the furnace down here.

[Cheddarius]

Would it hurt our PRIDE to sell robots?
Also, I think you should put inventions/formulas/etc. in their own spoilers, to make it easier later on.

[Pandarsenic]

Unless it's created solely from stolen parts, yes.

And they'll get spoiled once there are more :I

[Cheddarius]

Dangit all we can make is terrible robot models.
Read programming tutorials
Argh no internet
Raaaaaeg
Would it hurt our PRIDE to sell chemicals to the government?
Think about making intelligence enhancers

[dragnar]

First, I recommend a simple spybot.

- Remote [x1]
- Metal Propeller [x1]
- Basic Circuitry [x1]
- Control Unit [x1]
- Small Electric Motor [x1](2 if one isn't strong enough)
- Digital Camera [x1]
- Remote Control Car Chassis [x1]
- Tin Plate [x1](to be cut up and used for steering)
- as much wire and solder as is needed

[Pandarsenic]

Spybot invented! You had to tweak the design a little but otherwise it works. And you don't need to use circuitry in the bots until you get more complex.

You don't actually put the remote in the bot, you use that. You may want to build more of those and the control units soon beeteedubs.

Spybot (0 attack, 1 defense, 3 movement [flight])
1 Chassis (small), 2 Metal Propeller, 1 Tin Plate, 1 Digital Camera, 2 Small Electric Motors, 1 Solder, 2 Copper Wire

Of course, you'd have to rig the remote to your laptop to see what it views. That's within your grasp, if you can find a second propeller for the spybot though.

[Diakron]

I say Search tenement for spare parts.

[Cheddarius]

Would it hurt our PRIDE to sell chemicals to the government?
What about to spy for companies or the government or whatnot?
Think about making intelligence enhancers

[Diakron]

screw for a company do it independently and sell it to the highest bidder (spying that is) and make some drug to sell to the druggies that probably live here with us

[Criptfeind]
