Tie

Ties are similar to ropes tinging two bots together but more a nonphysical element in DB that produces a connecting force between bots (no colision detection). After 20 circles a tie "rope" hardens to a hard tie "bone" and the bot becomes a Multibot allowing it access to special Sharing commands and identifaction as a MB.

Ties are used by Single Bot to steal Energy from other bots.

The maximum number of ties currently is 4, although this is expected to change in future versions.

With a hard tie a bot gains the ability to use the Multibot sharing capability in addition to the commands shown below.
