Answer: Richard Garfield

Though it was produced in 1994, Garfield originally came up with the design in 1985. Garfield is more famous for creating the Magic: The Gathering card game. He also has a few lesser known works. Garfield works as a professor of mathematics.

Answer: Twitchy Bot

There is a bot named Twitch, but not Twitchy Bot. The complete list is Zoom Bot, Squash Bot, Trundle Bot, Spin Bot, Twonky, Hulk X90, Twitch, and Hammer Bot.

Answer: True

Yep, all robots come in a simple metal color. There is fine print on the bottom of the box reading "The miniatures shown have been expertly painted. Miniatures are supplied unpainted."

Answer: Blood and Guts

The expansion packs are Armed and Dangerous (which comes with 6 boards and extra game pieces), Crash and Burn (2 boards), Grand Prix (3 double-sided boards), and Radioactive (3 boards). There was also a promotional board given out at a tournament.

Answer: U Turn

The priority of a card is the small number at the top of the card. This determines which card will move first (in cases of pushing robots). The U turn is always the lowest and therefore always last. A U turn's priority will always be between 10 and 60.

Answer: Reactor Core

Reactor Core comes from the Radioactive expansion pack. It looks like a small reactor surrounded entirely by radiation and radioactive waste. There are only 10 normal factory squares on the entire board. This makes it very difficult to get across without receiving lots of damage (and maybe a few option cards).

Answer: Typhoon

Randomizers are found on the map "Gear Box." One-way walls can be found on Radioactive boards. Chop shops are found on several boards including ones from the Grand Prix and Radioactive sets. On the "Flood Zone" board there are water, drains, and currents but nothing called a typhoon.

Answer: The Big One

There's no trick question here. The Big One delivers 64 points of damage wherever it explodes. The next powerful item is actually the self destruct which does 16 points of damage. Each buzz bomb can only deliver 4 points of damage (there are a total of 3). The big gun does two damage and the mini howitzer only does one damage.

Answer: Let There Be Light

This option card is found in the expansion deck that comes with the Armed and Dangerous set. It can be programmed in the robot's program and will blow up for 16 points of damage on your robot and damage any others nearby.
