Batterybot
A batterybot is a type of bot that uses a veggy as a portable 'battery', draining its energy but keeping it alive. It could be regarded as a special type of sharefeeder.
Batterybots have access to a nearly unlimited energy source and can perform feats that would be nearly impossible to a regular bot such as storing up huge amounts of poison, venom, slime etc. and using very powerful shots but are slowed down by the veggy that they are lugging around everywhere.

It is a good idea to keep the 'battery' veggy alive, because (as previously stated) the 'battery' supplies your bots with enormous amounts of energy. Methods of helping the veggy survive include sharing shell and slime, and to produce energy as well as getting rid of waste at the same time, program your bots to give all their waste to the veggy via the MB Sharing commands, which the veggies will then metabolize into extra energy which is then going to be able to be sucked out of the veggy.
