There are several bots build by different people to choose from. Some streams have multiple robots in the same room.

One of the cool features they have is taking gif snapshots!

Adventures so far have included running around on the streets of San Francisco, wrecking some guy's apartment, playing with a room full of cats with an onboard laser, and pestering strangers on the street for Pepsi and uber rides.

Other important things to note:
The chat is a global chat, so everyone can see what everyone is saying. I think this will get fixed as the site grows.
You can select different robots, if you are on desktop, just scroll down. Live bots have a red dot next to them.
The mobile site is pretty basic, and needs a lot more work.
Everything is still pretty early in development, so keep checking back and things will continually improve.
There is a known bug with the sound getting choppy sometimes. It'll get fixed in time.
The server was just upgraded, so now it should handle much more traffic. When i posted this thread yesterday it instantly caused the site to crash. : X

Will suffer from a tragedy of the commons fairly soon

Smellycat · May 18, 2017

This thing is a mess. Reminds me of the Pokemon online game

Steel · May 18, 2017

This can't possibly end well. Either people use it for something they shouldn't or it'll drive into the street and get run over by a car.

Lol i think traffic from Gaf is already breaking the site : P

eso76 · May 18, 2017

Omg this is beyond amazing.

Not that I could get anything to work yet, but I would imagine it could be.

Yea the rush of traffic kinda borked the site. It's calmed down now, you should come back and try again for sure.

Someone did make a donald trump robot. It is currently live.
The server also got rebooted, so it's acting much better.

jillytot · May 19, 2017

Looks like one of the robots just married a stuffed bear, and then went across the floor on their honeymoon retreat.

jillytot · May 19, 2017

Ok the server looks like it was upgraded to handle more traffic, so stuff should break a lot less now... maybe.

Years ago this old guy (think he went by the name Trainguy or something) had web cams all over his house and you could turn the lights off and on. He had disco lights in his bedroom you could turn on as well. My wife and I woke him up a couple of times.

Yea one of the founders has his bots on 24/7, and they have wrecked his place. They have also knocked over furniture, and threw important documents in the trash:

More_Badass · May 19, 2017

This is crazy. Kind of surreal too. It's like playing a horror movie or something, going to start seeing some creepy stuff while exploring

That was the one! Then I drove it off the paved area and got stuck and the guy wagged his finger at me.

Lol nice. Honestly that robot is more in danger than the dog, but yea best not to pester daggo too much.

jillytot · May 20, 2017

I guess someone put just mounted toothpicks on one of the robots, and now we are playing a game of hide and stab.

wedca · May 20, 2017

I had fun driving a robot!

The chat is one of the worst I've ever seen, hope they make it hide-able.

Einchy · May 20, 2017

The connection in one of the stream had absolutely no lag. The robot said what I typed in the exact second I hit enter.

Pretty impressive.

Someone needs to add shit like easter eggs, puzzles and mysteries to solve.

Banzai · May 20, 2017

Cool idea, but I got bored of it within 5 minutes.

That does happen sometimes. As more robots and streamers are added things will definitely get more interesting.

It'll get more interesting. I think right now there just aren't enough robots and things to do, but that appears to be getting better quickly.

jillytot · Jun 2, 2017

A couple new robots just went online:

jillytot · Jun 27, 2017

I just wanted to share again since there is a lot of new robots coming on the site right now.

Archaix · Jun 27, 2017

This is great. Sometimes the internet is great.

Yay, yea there are a lot more robots on now than before, so i hope the variety helps to keep things interesting.

warthog · Jun 28, 2017

Ok, that was mildly amusing. Must be kind of weird having this robot going around in your house.

I enjoyed this. Good find.

I imagine you get used to it. It's kinda like owning a pet, except smarter, and occasionally more malicious. The best part is the "off" switch.
