Hello Inventors!
Welcome back to Main Assembly, where you’re the designer, engineer and architect. If you can imagine it you can create it! Construct robots of any shape or size from eight-legged spider bots to eerie UFO contraptions. Engineer each and every appendage with powerful visual programming letting you dictate the bots every move.
