<name> would rather roll around aimlessly in circles than participate in these events.

The Homemade Robot does not gain experience through combat; its weight can only be increased by 11 lbs. for each usage of a pile of useless robot parts until it hits 100 lbs. This is a hard cap, and cannot be increased through leveling in the Cake-Shaped Arena.
- The piles don't actually change the robot's base weight. They just add a buff, which treats the robot's base weight as 1 lbs. Even if its base weight is actually higher, the buff will always cap at a maximum of 100 lbs.
- The piles added persist across lifetimes, so a buffed robot will keep his buffed weight after ascending, despite having a base weight of 1 lbs.
The Homemade Robot's weight is, however, affected by buffs and equipment.
The robot cannot be used for the familiar weight-based quest in Community Service. Attempting to do so gives the message:
- Your robot starts freaking out as you get it near the collies. Looks like its dog-interaction circuitry is broken!
