Theme:
A source of energy has been invented by researchers, which is concentrated in a small energy capsule. There are harmful radioactive radiations in the area where energy capsule is located. You need to obtain the energy capsule by using your non-human force, a team of robots. These two robots will overcome the difficulties and bring energy capsule to safe zone. Once energy capsule is obtained, you need to use it to activate a generator to obtain the key and remove the radiations from area by placing the key in key hole.

Gameplay Sequence:
(Level 1) 1. M.R. and A.R. start from their Start Zones as the game begins. 2. M.R. picks up the brick from Brick Zone and places them on the grid. 3. A. R. catch holds the brick and start repairing the bridge. 4. M.R. after placing minimum of 2 bricks climbs the Broken Bridge. 5. After the broken bridge is repaired by A.R., M.R. moves forward to get the Energy Capsule. 6. M.R. picks the energy capsule and places it in Pick Up Zone. 7. A.R. gets hold of energy capsule in the Pick Up Zone and brings it back to the Home Zone 8. M.R. comes back to Home Zone after placing the capsule in Pick Up Zone (Optional) (Level 2)
1. M.R. and A.R. start from their Start Zones as the game begins. 2. M.R. picks up the brick from Brick Zone and places them on the grid. 3. A. R. catch holds the brick placed on the grid (2 bricks already placed on specified 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

coordinates.) and start repairing the bridge. M.R. can climb the bridge without placing two bricks on grid After the broken bridge is repaired by A.R., M.R. moves forward to get the Key. After the bridge is repaired by A.R. it brings the Energy Capsule from Home Zone to Power Up Zone. A.R. presses the switch with the help of Energy Capsule and helps M.R. to obtain the key near Pick Up Zone. M.R. obtains the key and runs to place it first before the other M.R. and wins the Battle Round A.R. brings the capsule back to Home Zone. (Optional)
