A singlebot, sometimes abbreviated as SB, is any bot made of a single cell unconnected to other cells by permanent ties.

This purple circle is a typical Singlebot. Note the lack of permanent connective ties. It eats, lives, reproduces and dies entirely independantly (or mostly independantly) of other cells.
