SimEarth-Robots!: There is another class of life that is not explained in the manual! It is the robot! Robots are able to survive everywhere, including on rock, arctic, and ocean! Robots can evolve sentience, too, but because they are already so advanced, they will not be able to have stone age, bronze age, or iron age cities! They will begin civilization at the level of the industrial age! To create robots, simply place one nanotech city of any life form and set an atomic test on it! Robots in the city will escape and live as separate life forms
