Interface Droid

public interface Droid

A Droid is an interface used on a TeamRobot to create a specialized team robot, i.e. a droid robot. A droid has 20 extra life/energy, but comes with the cost that a droid has no scanner! This means that a droid is 100% dependent on other team members to perform the scanning on their behalf and communicate the location of target enemies.

A team of droids plus at least one non-droid team robot can have a crucial edge over another team without droids (and the same number of robots) due to the additional 20 energy points.
