A few more questions

-What determines maximum flying height? How do some robots manage to fly higher when I don't see any way to get to that elevation and fly from there?
-Sometimes, when I'm battling, I get a flash of light (with a screen crack, but not really) accompanied by some sound. What does that mean?

Maximum Flying Height is fixed, when u see someone soaring high up above you...trust me theres a a way to reach that somewhere in the map

the flash of light...

CHING! then a thunder like pic/screen crack shows, that means your wonder bit gauge is full and ready for summoning

Or someone's spamming air loop with a prop bit.

You can get hax max height if you max out then air loop repeatedly.

That or it's a Thoarla using jupitizer.

Just to chip in another 2 cents, Traps DO punt you higher up in the air. Useful as a last-ditch getaway option.

Best option is burning trap, enjoy your 40 FLY. Slow trap gets you killed.

Flying height is constant and depends on type of the bot.
Though if you're stunned in flight, your flying height will be reset and you can gain more elevation. Wind cones are also able to add some elevation if exploited correctly.
You can also bump into someone while flying to gain some altitude.
And yeah, traps. Though you don't usually want to step into one.
Air bots may have instant max-height ability (you need 3s to reach maximum altitude), so you may be mistaking it for over-max altitude.
You can't get over max with air loop. It's fixed for a long time.

Since when? I was using it on a friend's account in central to get on top of the mission counter building without needing to land on anything above ground height on the way up.

Also, short boost with seraph wings can be exploited for some ridiculous height.

Air loop 3 times and I'm on top of the christmas tree in WIZ area from the clan counter, though I haven't worked out the timing so I can stay at the tip without the slide forcing me off again.

What is the maximum HP you can have and at what cost? (parts+cartridges)
What is the lowest possible cost for a customized robot and with what parts?

lowest possible cost is lvl 0 beezle with no arms and just leg and body and head.
hope you like spamming your stinger melee

max hp i ever managed is about 600+ on a lvl 10 Destructor in OBT.

basically if you have higher than 500 hp on any bot in general, you got it really high already.

Wow, that's really a tank. What's OBT?

I love bouncing up the vertical ones with Tesladonna's kick.

Throws you higher than other players expect.

What is "Safe Mode"?

Supposedly a mode that requires less ram and kills your computer less easily.
If you want the best gaming experience and less lower resolution and etc. run it normally.
"Safe Mode" is like for slower computers and supposed to crash less often.
There isn't any real proof though. People complain about the game when running safe mode same as when running on regular.

What exactly is this "slots" thing on parts? Is it for tune-ups?

Correct.

Slots are the determining factor on how many tune-ups you can put on a particular part. [And to a general extent, cost capability too. Remember that tune ups DO eat up a bit of that.]

One slot allows you one tune-up, while a three slot part allows three. Self explanatory.

I heard that having broken slots [outcome of a failed tuneup without protection] lowers the success rates of subsequent tunes, though I'm not sure if this is the case.

op, you are a smart newbie :>
the real smart people are the ones who ask questions, and listen
now if only more newbies actually ask and listen, that would be great
