- [Updated] Grab your wrenches - RoboCo 1.0 Launches February 6! - 4 February 2026
Hey everyone! At long last, RoboCo officially reaches 1.0 on Steam this Friday, February 6. First, we want to be transparent about the state of RoboCo compared to our original plans. As many of you have noticed, 1.0 no longer includes VR mode, and we apologize for that. We've been unable to secure the resources and funds required to bring that feature to PC, and we're as disappointed as you are about that omission. If you're still looking to get your hands on the VR version of our game, please contact us directly via our Discord. The delay in communication has been due to the fact that we have still been seeking additional resources and funding for this entire intervening period, holding out hope that we would have more to share, but we were ultimately not successful in that endeavor. We're sorry about that, too. All in all, it's a difficult time to launch a game that's designed to educ…

- Aluminum Update: Two More Mini-Challenges and a New RoboRepair Tutorial! - 15 December 2023
Happy Friday, RoboEngineers! RoboCo has been updated to Version 0.7.5, also known as the Aluminum update! If you're curious why we called it that, check out our previous dev blog, An Update Regarding Updates! We've got some new features and improvements to share! New Mini-Challenges As part of our effort to improve onboarding and smooth the difficulty curve for the campaign, we've added two new mini-challenges. Roaring Refuse: Throw the cube of garbage into the incinerator Using the notion of recurring skill atoms that we described in our last blog, Roaring Refuse preps the skill of launching an object, with fewer overall steps and a wider target than the later, more advanced "Soda Me!" challenge. The Berry On Top: Place a strawberry on the cakes and submit them for inspection The Berry On Top preps the skill of dispensing objects one by one, which even veteran players may find tricky!…

Changes: Placeholder localization from the Copper release has been updated with professional localization The Motor Controls RoboRepair has been moved earlier (now found in the Reaching Farther group), so that it comes immediately after the new Wheel Assembly RoboRepair Required bits to unlock each challenge group have been sligh…

Happy Friday, RoboEngineers! RoboCo has been updated to Version 0.7.4, also known as the Copper update! If you're curious why we called it that, check out our previous dev blog, An Update Regarding Updates! We've got some new features and improvements to share! Cut, Copy, and Paste of Transmitter Controls Cue classic infomercial voiceover: "Are your robot's controls mapped to the E key on the Purple Transmitter? Do you wish you had mapped them to the U key on the Orange Transmitter instead? Aren't you tired of migrating controls one at a time?" "Introducing cut, copy, and paste of transmitter controls! Yes, folks, thanks to state-of-the-art technology from the scientists at RoboCo, you can now migrate an action or an entire transmitter with ease. Sign in to your copy of RoboCo and experience this pioneering achievement, absolutely free!" "You worked hard to build that robot! Isn't it ti…

Placeholder localizations are marked with an asterisk, and will be replaced with professional localization in the following Early Access update. Changes: The game now defaults to the Constructs tab rather than Parts when entering a new scene. The initial tutorial has been moved to Same Day Delivery, as that is no…

- RoboCo Will Be at PAX West 2023! - 25 August 2023
Hello, RoboEngineers! Last week, we gave you a behind-the-scenes look into RoboCo VR. This week, we’re talking about our return to PAX! RoboCo first appeared at PAX West 2019. We were a part of the Indie Megabooth, a renowned event at PAX that specifically focuses on showcasing awesome upcoming indie games. Some alumni of Indie Megabooth include Astroneer, Celeste, and Dead Cells. It’s amazing to think about how far we’ve come since then. Players who visited our booth in 2019 were among the first to play RoboCo, as it was the first time Sandwich Server was available to the public. Now, we have 10 other challenges, an open sandbox, robot programming, and so much more to showcase! RoboCo will be at Booth 656 from 10 AM to 6 PM starting September 1st and ending September 4th. We hope you’ll consider stopping by to build some robots and meet our staff in person! For those that can’t make it…
- What's New With RoboCo VR? - 18 August 2023
Happy Friday, RoboEngineers! Last week, we announced our new update schedule as well as the release date for RoboCo Copper. This week, we’re taking you behind the scenes of our progress with RoboCo VR! What’s Happened So Far As you may know from our (Mostly) Complete History of RoboCo devblog, RoboCo originated in VR. We started working on the desktop version of RoboCo in 2018 and, while that’s the version of RoboCo so many have come to know and love, we have never given up on our dreams to also bring this compelling robotics experience to VR. We’ve come a long way since the initial VR prototype. Check out the video below to get up to speed on what the VR version is like! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWZreal8K9k&ab_channel=FilamentGames You may recall that when we announced the release date for RoboCo on Steam, we also talked about how RoboCo will be a standalone title for the Meta Q…
- An Update Regarding Updates - 11 August 2023
Happy Friday, RoboEngineers! Last time, we announced the inclusion of springs in RoboCo! This week we’re talking about our updated release schedule, which we’ve affectionately called “An Update Regarding Updates”. A CuTe Update Will Be Available Soon As of today, we plan on releasing our next update sometime between October 3rd and November 3rd, 2023. Called RoboCo Copper, this update will include 2 new mini-challenges for onboarding, plus additional improvements. Players won't know exactly which features fall into an update until the week before the update is released, but those that enjoy theorizing may want to keep a close eye on what is currently in the In Progress category of our RoboCo Feature Roadmap as we get closer to the date.😉 Why call it RoboCo Copper? This new way of naming releases provides a number of benefits. For one, we can now share a firm date range for releases far…
- Springs Are Bouncing Into RoboCo! - 4 August 2023
Happy Friday, RoboEngineers! We know it’s been a hot minute since our last devblog, but we come bearing exciting news! Some new parts have been added to RoboCo and we’re sure that they’ll add a spring to your next RoboStep! What Kinds of Springs Have We Added? When you think of springs, the first type that comes to mind is probably a standard coil spring that can compress or extend, like the kind you'd find in a ballpoint pen. In RoboCo, we refer to these as linear springs.* Our linear springs come in two sizes - small (1x1x1) and large (3x3x1) -- which can be resized to a length of 1x1x25 and 3x3x25 respectively. Similar to our large piston, the large linear spring takes up more space but is more powerful, capable of higher settings in its Properties panel (more on those later). We also have a torsion spring. "Torsion" means "twisting" and is also where the term "torque" comes from. A…
- RoboCo Early Access Update - Version 0.7.3.310 - 4 August 2023
NEW! Linear Spring - A spring of uniform diameter that compresses and extends with a damper inside. Linear springs come in two sizes - small (1x1x1) and large (3x3x1) -- which can be resized to a length of 1x1x25 and 3x3x25 respectively. Similar to the large piston, the large linear spring takes up more space but is more powerful, capable of higher settings in its Properties panel. Torsion Spring - A spring whose endpoints twist, storing and releasing rotational energy. The torsion spring comes in one size (1x1x1) and isn’t resizable. Suspension Wheels - Left and right wheel constructs that provide basic spring suspension. Suspension can help steady the chassis of your vehicle as it drives over uneven terrain. Each construct includes a wheel, motor, and spring with some default properties. These will be available right away in the Sandbox, and you can unlock them in the Campaign if you…
- It’s Our 6-Month Launch Anniversary! - 3 May 2023
Happy Wednesday, RoboEngineers! It’s May 3rd, 2023, otherwise known as RoboCo’s 6-Month Launch Anniversary. Yes, it may be hard to believe but it’s already been 6 months since we released on Steam Early Access. To celebrate, we’re showcasing some of the best robots uploaded to our Steam Workshop. As of this devblog, we’ve had over 450 robots submitted. That's a year and 2 months’ worth of new robots if you download one each day. More Content Creator Drops! Before we showcase some cool robots though, we want to give a quick shoutout to a few heavy-hitters on YouTube that dropped some hilarious videos to celebrate the Chatterbox’s launch. If you haven’t seen the videos already, make sure to check out ScrapMan’s, kAN Gaming’s, and Durf’s videos below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To7wdwBBOJM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_DOy1Tjd70 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD3j3cUfr7s The Best…
