Lead them towards the yellow orbs : there are 2 on the floor and 2 higher up in the room. Use the grappling bowtie to reach the upper ones. If a mini-bot touches an orb with its power plug, it explodes.
(NOTE : If a minibot or director D stops moving, you will need to reboot Poptropica and replay the control center sequence. This freeze-up is a known glitch.)
The minibots will chase you of their own volition. Lead them to the 4 glowing orbs (2 at the bottom and 2 at the top), and when their plugs touch one, they explode.
If the minibots (or Director D) do not chase you, you have encounter the freeze-up glitch present on Spy Island. You will have to reboot Poptropica and play the control center again.
Mini-Bot Freeze-Up
The minibots will chase you continuously. If they (or Director D) stop moving, you have encountered a glitch in the island programming. You must reboot Poptropica and replay the control center sequence.
There are 4 minibots and 4 glowing orbs around the room : two at the bottom and two near the top. Use the grappling bowtie to reach the upper ones. Whenever the plug of a minibot hits an orb, it explodes. When all 4 minibots are gone, Director D will attack you with the control console.
(NOTE : For some players, either a minibot or Director D may stop moving. If this happens, reboot Poptropica and play the control center part over again. This is a known glitch on the island.)
nothing just move and get their attention
On spy island there are these robots that B.A.D. boss Director D sends after you. To defeat them, make them follow you to the platforms, and then they become electrocuted
Normally when you defeat the mini-bots and Director D, the game returns you to the Spy Headquarters for your Island Medallion. However, there is a bad glitch which can halt the program when you are battling the mini-bots or Director D. They will just "freeze up" instead of chasing you. The only way to fix this is to reboot your browser, which means you have to beat the lasers again in the hideout sequence. (see related question)
If any of the mini-bots, or Director D, stop moving, you have encountered a known glitch on Spy Island. You will have to reboot Poptropica and replay the hideout sequence. The problem should not happen twice.* If you have won when Director D stops, you can try walking back to Spy Headquarters on Main Street, to see if the game ends and you get the Island Medallion.
If you see those yellow round circles, you run to each of them, and the robots get shocked.
Using the grappling bowtie, anchor yourself to the ceiling and wait. Director D will try to crush you and smash into the roof. After 4 times hitting the top, the machine will crash.
Things that Zap you on Poptropica : Lasers (Spy Island) Electrified Windows (Spy Island) Mini-Bots (Spy Island) Electric Fence (Diamond Mine, Nabooti Island) Electric Caterpillars (Jungle Planet, Astro Knights Island) Mordred's Robot (Astro Knights Island)
You have to defeat Director D in his flying control chamber. To do this, use the grapple bowtie to get on top of his machine, or up near the ceiling. When he tries to smash you, he will damage the machine. Important Note : If the mini-bots or Director D stop moving, you will need to re-start your browser, and repeat the B.A.D. hideout. The game has a bad tendency to freeze up.
When Director D crashes, you should be transported automatically back to the Spy Headquarters, where you receive the Island Medallion.Important Note : If either the mini-bots or Director D stop moving, you have unfortunately encountered a lock-up of the game. You will have to reboot your browser and replay the B.A.D. scene. This is a known problem, apparently uncorrected.
Follow the turncoat Director D out on the transporter. You will have to battle his mini-bots on the laser satellite. (see related question)
This is a known glitch in the Spy Island program. Sometimes during the final battles (mini-bots or Director D) they will stop attacking you. You have to reboot Poptropica and play the sequence of the hideout over again.
Sorry, it is a known glitch in the Spy Island program. Sometimes during the final battles (mini-bots or Director D) they will stop attacking you. You have to reboot Poptropica and play the sequence again, beginning with your arrival at the BAD hideout.
The mini-bots and Director D may occasionally "freeze up" on Spy Island. This is a programming problem and if it lasts more than a minute, you must refresh the game. This will set you back a little ways, but should keep all your items.
