How to Play Like a Pro

Can you build a robot that looks cool and works? In My First Robot, you start with parts like wires, gears, and gadgets, then put them together to create your first robot and watch it animate. What you do in the game This is a beginner-friendly maker game. You assemble a robot step by step using mechanical-looking parts. Your core loop: Choose or place a robot part (wires, gears, pieces). Fit parts together to form a complete build. Check how it looks and adjust if needed. Finish the build and watch your robot’s animated debut. The best part is experimenting—trying a new part can change the whole feel of your robot. Controls Desktop Click and drag parts to move them. Click to select tools or pieces. Mobile Tap and drag parts (if supported). Tap buttons/menus to change pieces. How you “win” / how progress works You progress by completing your robot build. Some versions may guide you with steps; others let you explore more freely. Your goal is usually: A complete robot (all key parts placed) A robot that looks neat (parts line up well) Seeing the robot animate at the end Real player moment: you place one gear and think “done”… then you notice one loose wire spot and it bugs you until you fix it. Parts you’ll use Based on the game description, expect pieces like: Wires (good for connecting areas) Gears (great for a “machine” look) Gadgets (small parts that add detail) Even if the game doesn’t label each part, you can treat them as “big parts” and “detail parts.” Tips to play better (11 tips) Start with the body shape first. Build the main robot shape before adding tiny details. Place big parts, then medium, then small. This keeps your design clean. Keep left/right balanced. If one side has three gadgets, add something on the other side too. Use wires to “connect” your design. A wire can make two random parts look like they belong together. Don’t overcrowd the center. If everything piles in one spot, it’s harder to see what you made. Zoom/drag slowly for tiny parts. Small pieces are easy to misplace. Try one change at a time. Swap one gadget, then decide if it’s better. If your robot looks messy, remove one piece. Less can look more “real.” Save often. The game warns you—saving protects your favorite design. If you keep dropping parts in the wrong place, drag from the edge of the part, not the middle. Your finger covers less of the screen. Coach voice: Build the base. Then decorate. Small human moment: You’ll probably love your first robot… then immediately want to build a second one with a different “theme.” That’s normal. Levels / modes / progression This feels like a “make and watch” experience: Build → finish → see animation Then replay to experiment with new designs If there are multiple builds, later ones may include more parts or trickier placement. Common problems & quick fixes Lost progress: Save more often (especially before big changes). Drag feels jumpy: Use slower drags and keep browser zoom at 100%. Game not responding: Click/tap inside the game area first. Lag: Close extra tabs (moving parts can be heavier on older devices). Fullscreen issues: Toggle fullscreen off/on or refresh once. Parent note (2–3 lines) My First Robot supports creativity, planning, and finishing a build carefully. A good reminder is “save, stretch hands, then keep building.” Quick Info box Platform: Browser (HTML5) Genre: Maker / building / creativity Age fit: 6–13 Session length: 10–20 minutes Controls: Drag and place parts; save progress regularly FAQ (6) Q1: What do I do in My First Robot?
