“Confuse Robot Sensors” is a very
useful skill to have in Solar Echoes, and it can be a useful skill
for us to understand, too, as we prepare for the upcoming Robot
Apocalypse. Even a vague understanding of a robot's pathfinding
algorithms is useful when eluding a pursuing metal monstrosity.
Robots have a very difficult time moving through clutter—it
confuses them—so make lots of obstacles for them. Spread garbage,
knock down chairs, scatter clothes, and use anything else you can
find that will obstruct a robot's direct path to you. Run in zig-zag
patterns to make the robot constantly adjust its movement. While it
may be able to think faster than you, it is still a machine and is
much more limited in movement. Although many robots can climb steps,
very few can currently run up steps and keep their balance. You don't
have to be an expert at parkour to elude a pursuing robot, but if you
just run in a straight line, you deserve what you get in the end.
We've all seen what happens when some guy in the movies fails to
outrun something when he could have just deviated his path to the
left or right. Don't be that guy!
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
