In your 9.27 beta, the robot does come under your control when you give it the chip. It spawns ANOTHER robot under the town's control. This has aggravated me intensely as I've tried countless times over and over again.
And just a though;perhaps you could add 2 or 3 other varieties of chips or robots? Maybe even creating your own chip or finding a chip in a garbage bag from garbage job. Again, just a thought.
PS Can you release another beta soon
?
