Botball modules: Motion

Basic motion modules

Basic modules are available to all players from the beginning; they are the easiest to balance and use, but are generally less powerful and versatile than rarer modules.

  • Arin wheels: The basic motion module, Arin wheels have average scores on all stats and traits.
  • Taskara rocket: The Taskara rocket is reasonably fast and cheap; it compensates its otherwise low stats with the special ability to jump over opponents.
  • Asyata legs: Asyata legs are slow, but they are cheap and get high scores in all other stats.
  • Vaahana tracks: Vaahana tracks are slow and clumsy, but very durable; they have the special ability to charge through opponents.

Advanced motion modules

Advanced modules are more specialized and less common than basic modules, with mostly higher key stats (and some lower stats to compensate).

  • Jaganatha tracks: Jaganatha tracks are among the cheapest and slowest motion modules in the game, but they are also among the most durable and resilient.
  • Duurataa wheels: A cheap, relatively weak motion module.
  • Taryakata rocket: The Taryakata motion module is extremely fast, but expensive. It has low stats elsewhere, but it has the special ability to jump over opponents.
  • Kshatra rocket: The Kshatra motion module is incredibly fast, tough and powerful, but it’s very expensive. It is the only rocket module that cannot jump.

Elite motion modules

Elite modules are the rarest in the game; they have the best overall stats, although some of their stats are ridiculously low to make room for the very high numbers. They allow for the best bot customization, but are correspondingly harder to find.

  • Viira legs: Viira legs are relatively cheap and have good overall stats.
  • Naatha wheels: The Naatha wheel module is slow and clumsy, but it has the Special ability to charge through opponents.
  • Kiila legs: The best and most expensive motion module in the game, the Kiila is fast, agile and very durable, although it lacks any special power.
  • Rodha tracks: These small tracks are the cheapest, weakest and slowest motion module in the game.
