The Simpsons: Tapped Out Rise of the Robots content update/Robo-Mania Gameplay

Dances With Robots

After the user logs in on April 7th: Robot Rumble is back and it's going to be more troubling than ever! We've got new gears, increased battery life, and added pain circuits so the robots will feel every drill bit and saw tooth. And we're going to be auditioning fan-built bots here in Springfield next week! Get those circular saw blades from the garage and wake your dads up from their naps! You could be the next Robot Rumble Star! Hey Homer, how would you like to spend some time together where I pretend to appreciate and respect you? Hmm, there's a first time for everything. But I'm busy, so no. BUT DAD! I thought it was very sweet the way you dressed up as Bart's robot, Chief Knockahomer, and fought in the Robot Rumble for him before so he wouldn't think you're a failure as a father. Yeah, but those other robots almost killed me! And that was before I would have to add a concussion circuit. Dad, you were already getting concussions when you fought before. Yeah, now the robots can get 'em too, so it's finally a fair fight! Oooh, I do like a fair fight... Task: Make Bart Try to Talk Homer Into Fighting Again (6s, Simpson House) Task: Make Homer Consider Fighting Again (6s, Simpson House) One last thing I should mention is that the robots are going to be way more stabby, too! They're going to stab harder, faster, and deeper...and like it more! You're on your own, boy! Aw man! What am I gonna do now? Maybe there's a way you can still bring Chief Knockahomer back to "life"... Quest reward: 100 and 10

Robo-Mania

Robo-Mania Pt. 1

After completing Dances With Robots: You know, Database and those guys are into robots. I bet they could help you turn Chief Knockahomer into a real robot this time. Aw man, the nerds? I hate hanging around those guys. They smell weird. I can't put my finger on what it is. We prefer the term Academic-Americans, and that smell is fear. Fear of what? Bullies, B's on tests, bench-warming splinters, and that's just the Bs. The list is alphabetical? Alphanumerical, actually. It's a clever system combining alphabetical order with Scrabble point values... You're being boring! Amazing. That was the next fear on the list! How can we find these Nerdulonic-Americans and see if they'll help us build a rumble-ready robot? Just follow your nose! You weren't wrong about the smell. Task: Collect Wrenches [x115] Task: Make Bart Look for Nerds (4h) Task: Make Lisa Help Look for Nerds (4h, The Prodigy Barn, Springfield Library or Springfield Elementary) I can't find those nerds anywhere! That's because you just rode your skateboard around for four hours! Four hours exactly...which is oddly specific, now that I think about it. Right, and you timing me wasn't weird at all. So did you find the nerds? No, but I do have one last place to try... Quest reward: 100 and 10

Robo-Mania Pt. 2

After completing Robo-Mania Pt. 1: And here we are! Prodigy Barn? What is this, Sheets, Shirts & Sundries for nerds? Do you want a functional robot or not? Look, you see? They're already working on robots now. Indeed we are! Observe: the new pinnacle in robot technology! It's just walking. That's lame. While clutching its textbooks to its chest in classic nerd style — and avoiding eye contact in a range of 360 degrees! And look what happens when you give it a "flat tire": it auto-cringes, rights itself, and mumbles an apology! Suck eggs, Boston Dynamics! LAME. But you know what's cool? Robots that can fight! *gasp* But building fighting robots would violate the code of robot ethics we all swore to uphold! Yes, we've found that the use of violence inevitably results in said violence being used on us. Right. And you all must have signed this lame code of ethics AFTER you helped me build the Wedgie-Matic 6000. I knew that would come back to bite us. Task: Collect Wrenches [x155] Task: Make Bart Convince Nerds to Build Fighting Robots (3h, The Prodigy Barn) Task: Make Lisa Try to Help Bart Convince Nerds (3h, The Prodigy Barn) Task: Make Nerds Demand Favors in Return [x3] (3h, The Prodigy Barn) Three acknowledgements and unlimited Cosmic Wars references. That is our final offer. What kind of references are we talking about? Quotes like "These are not the cyberbots you're seeking!" "Scumbaggio Fired Second!" "Duke! We are your uncles!" Fine! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Robo-Mania Pt. 3

After completing Robo-Mania Pt. 2: I hear that these "scrapping automatons" are all the rage about town! Well, yes sir. With the plebeians. But don't you think you're above that? Piffle! Mechanical pugilists are a time-honored tradition. I myself went three rounds against a Pneumatic Irishman while I was at Yale. Afterwards, we sang the night away at Morries and he stole my sweater. I must acquire a mechano-bot capable of teaching these Stove-pipe Stovers who's Johnny on the Quad! Anticipating your every Dickensian whim as ever, I have already purchased one and here it is! I got your thingy here... Smithers, that slap-dash simulacrum is devoid of even the slightest semblance of humanity! That's Homer Simpson, one of your... Yes, yes, we've had quite enough of that one haven't we? Yes, sir. Your robot is the mechanical bear he's pushing. Ah, so just a robot bear, you say? It is the most fearsome killer robot on the face of the earth, sir. And yet I'm disappointed. Curious. Have him put it in the corner, where it will remind me of my disappointment in you, Smithers. I just need you to sign here, here, and intial here. Why is it coming towards us? Maybe I shouldn't have used the controller as a clipboard. Task: Collect Wrenches [x115] Task: Make Homer Accidentally Break Control Unit (2h, Burns Manor, Mansion of Solid Gold, Control Building or Simpson House) Task: Make Burns Flee Bear Robot Rampage (2h, Burns Manor, Mansion of Solid Gold, Control Building or Simpson House) If the user has Smithers: Task: Make Smithers Flee Bear Robot Rampage (2h, Burns Manor, Mansion of Solid Gold, Control Building or Simpson House) I'm sorry, sir. The bear robot is a disaster. Nonsense! Have it delivered to the break room first thing Monday morning. And have the results filmed for one of those new computer talkies the kids are into these days. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Robo-Mania Pt. 4

After completing Robo-Mania Pt. 3: Huzzah, my fellow cybernauts! Big deal, we all have fighting robots now. What? How? They sell them now at the Blazing Topic store in the outlet mall. Across from the anime t-shirts, next to the lame 70s bands t-shirts. Mine pounds nerds for lunch money. Which makes it indistinguishable from a human bully. Behold, fellows! The Turing test has been satisfied for Artifical Unintelligence — a development both thrilling and alarming! Let us respond as we would to their human counterparts and run away! Task: Collect Wrenches [x155] Task: Make Bart Ditch Nerds (1h, Springfield Elementary, Springfield Park Entrance, Kwik-E-Mart or Simpson House) Task: Make Bullies Bully Using Robots [x3] (1h, Springfield Elementary, Springfield Park Entrance, Kwik-E-Mart or Simpson House) Task: Make Nerds Flee Robots [x3] (1h, Springfield Elementary, Springfield Park Entrance, Kwik-E-Mart or Simpson House) My humiliation is identical to what I have experienced at the hands of human bullies. What a time to be a nerd! Guys, just finish rebuilding Chief Knockahomer and I'll get revenge on all their robots for you! Revenge IS a classic motivator... Quest reward: 100 and 10

Robo-Mania Pt. 5

After completing Robo-Mania Pt. 4: We're almost finished constructing your metallic myrmidon — now we just need a CPU to manage its higher cognitive functions. What? Your metal fighting thingy needs a computer brain thingy. Oh, that makes sense. How about this old myPod Shuffle? Wait, you expect us to build a sophisticated combat AI into outdated Mapple Computers technology? ... Yes? Eh, we've done more with less. Task: Collect Wrenches [x195] Task: Make Bart Supply myPod Shuffle for Robot Brain (4h, The Prodigy Barn) Task: Make Nerds Rebuild Chief Knockahomer [x3] (4h, The Prodigy Barn) Sweet Asimov's sideburns! It's alive! I've always wanted to say that. Chief Knockahomer? Buddy? Acknowledged. I am online and ready for combat. Because she told me to WALK THIS WAY! WALK THIS WAY! Uh...okay. Bart, where did you get that myPod that we used to power Chief Knockahomer's central processor? Found it on the bus. Pretty sure it was Otto's. Quest reward: 200 and 20
