Publisher's Description:

Four robots move on the floor of a warehouse. As they have no brakes or sterring wheels, they must rely on obstacles such as walls and other robots to stob...

An accident has caused the (warehouse) computer to fail and the robots now rely on you to provide them with instructions to move to the targets.

Any amount may play this game, limited only by the space around the table. Each turn a player draws a chip to determine the next target and the robot that must reach it. With the computer down, the players search for the shortest moves to the target, using one or more of the robots. The player who finds the most efficient move receives the chip as a reward. When the chips have all been taken the player with the most is the winner!
