When starting a game without any other players, you'll be given an AI robot companion for singleplayer sessions. In versus sessions, each team with less than two members will be filled up with a robot. The robot can be controlled via the Ping-Tool (Left-Mouse-Btn or [Q] or [Right-Analog-Stick-Press] and emojis ([Ctrl], [L/R-Trigger]. Check out the [[FAQ|FAQ]] for more details concerning the controls.

For most modes, the bot expects the player to create Waypoints (Pings) to act at a desired position on the map. You can initiate the drawing tool by pressing [Q] or alternatively, using your [LMouse] button. Depending on how you activated the drawing tool, the pointer can then be moved around the map with [WASD] or by moving the mouse. Press [SPACE] (Accept) to then confirm the Waypoint. They can be either placed as path (with up to 4 Waypoints) or as single dot (by pressing accept twice). When using a single dot, the bot will decide on it's on which path to the dot is relevant. The planned path by the bot can be visualized again while holding [CTRL] or [E] (Emoji Wheel button).

By selecting an emoji, the bot starts and continues (forever) performing an action represented by the emoji. Some actions can fail and the bot will respond with a warning sign or a specific emoji showing what is missing. If the impediment is solved, the bot directly continues with the action.
