question about z-bots

Post by CatHat5678 » Wed Jul 22, 2009 9:16 am

What does the Z in Z-bots stand for?
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Because if the road crossed the chicken the old lady's would trip over the bump!
(no offence to anyone who thinks of themselves as "old")

The Z in Z-bot is mean Zap. If you say it with Zap it will be Zap-Bot

I don't really think it stands for anything. :|

It doesn't really stand for anything, but in the very first Midnight Post I offered this explanation:
In a very early concept draft of the game, you were going to be in control of three robots on a space ship, each with different abilities. The “Wee-Bot” was small and zippy, the “Zee-Bot” could zap objects with electricity, and the “Zero-Gee-Bot” could hover over chasms. The Wee-Bot concept survived into the final Wonderland game, where it became the Z-Bot.
