Bots

= Bots = Bots are "racers" who are controlled by AIs. A bot appears after an amount of time when no racers join a race. This time depends on the speed range that the race is in, and can range from 0-5 seconds. The only bot that this rule does not apply to is The Wampus, which comes into the race one second after the fourth racer joins. Bots' cars range from Starter Cars to Muscle Cars (excluding the Liberty '69 Shellback RT-500 and the Liberty Fastback) and can have any paint job. All bots, other than The Wampus, use the "Nitro Type Bot" title. The Wampus uses the title “You’ll Never Beat Me!” During the Xmaxx events, bots would sometimes use the Rocket Sleigh instead of their normal cars. Bots can also be used by admins when racing. As well, you can not find how fast they are, their top speed, their profile, their level, or anything else related to them. Bots exist in Nitro Type and are expected to be in Nitro Math, maybe even adding in Thwampus.
