Learning the Vagabot (ROOTbot Academy #4)

Description provided by the creator on YouTube:

Welcome back to ROOTbot Academy! This week we learn all about the robo-raccoon, the Vagabot! It's a bit longer of an episode because each of the Daylight actions requires a bit of teaching, but hopefully that just makes piloting the bot that much easier on the back end! For anyone who's been coming here each week since I restarted the series, there may be a bit of a delay as we approach CWE2. I'll definitely be rolling those out ASAP, but I'm a) I want to make them with physical materials rather than printed screenshots from TTS, and b) I think I might need a bit of a breather break! But hoping to get those started in the not-too-distant future! Want more information about the Vagabot characters from CWE2? https://youtu.be/JLkah3OIQ7A ----------TIMESTAMPS… 0:00 - Greetings & Intro 1:00 - Ground rules & reminders 1:28 - 7. - Name 1:45 - 7.1 - Overview ----------FACTION RULES & ABILITIES... 2:10 - 7.2 - The regulars 2:32 - 7.2.1 - Lone Wanderer and Full Removal 2:57 - 7.2.2 - Nimble 3:10 - 7.7 Character cards 3:43 - 7.2.3 - Items 4:35 - 7.2.4 - Battle Track 7:24 - 7.2.5 - Taking Hits 8:23 - Mid-vid debrief 9:29 - 7.3 - Setup ----------THE BOARD… 14:06 - 7.4 - BIRDSONG 14:38 - 7.5 - DAYLIGHT (and the Daylight Actions) 15:47 - Moving for Daylight Actions 17:29 - 7.5.1 - Explore 17:59 - 7.5.2 - Quest 18:29 - 7.5.3 - Aid 20:56 - 7.5.4 - Battle 23:45 - 7.5.5 - Repair 24:39 - 7.5.6 - Special 24:59 - 7.6 - EVENING 19:11 - 7.5.2 - DAYLIGHT: Surprise Revolt 20:48 - 7.6 - EVENING ----------EXAMPLE TURN… 28:08 - Example Turn Preamble 30:18 - Vagabot Example Turn ----------THE CARDS… 40:18 - Difficulty Cards (easy) 40:47 - Challenging (difficulty) 41:06 - Nightmare (difficulty) 41:41 - Trait Cards 42:00 - Berserker (trait) 43:10 - Helper (trait) 44:01 - Adventurer (trait) 45:17 - Marksman (trait) ----------OTHER STUFF… 46:22 - Signoff & Final Thoughts MY PLACES...

This was the first video in my reboot of the whole clockwork series, entitled ROOTbot Academy. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/3dP4pSm22u8 \ BETTER BOT PROJECT \ If you're interested in this or any of the other free-to-print BBP factions, head on over to Board Game Geek to get the most up-to-date files as well as read any discussions that might be taking place: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2068034 \ MY FLOWCHART \ And if you catch a glimpse of the inside of my Root box cover, my homemade Root faction flowchart (with major props to Tom Teaches for the better icons) is available to print and have with you at all times, in case you or other players need some help with faction choice. Also, this will be getting a total overhaul with the new factions sometime this spring once I've had more time to play around with them: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/196837/root-faction-flowchart \ MY POEM ABOUT THE FLOWCHART \ This was my entry to the 60-Second Root competition to help celebrate the Marauder Expansion, wherein I confess my undying love for the game in the form of prose, referencing the aforementioned flowchart and what it means for a game to inspire _this_ much creativity in its fans: https://youtu.be/6LsG60eNuxQ \ MY TRUMPET EXERCISES \ Speaking of undying love and creativity, here are the eight exercises I wrote for trumpet inspired by the eight factions currently in print (the rats and badgers will have to be added soon!): https://youtu.be/6LsG60eNuxQ \ ROOT THE MUSICAL!? \ Okay, now I'm just being ridiculous. This was ANOTHER creative project that sort of lit my brain on fire for one weekend... I made a spoof on a different song from a different Broadway musical for each of the currently published factions... I know... usually this is when someone says "get a hobby" but clearly I already have one... https://youtu.be/8M9mha1xuL0 MY THANK YOUs: MUSIC!
