card 7
Ping robot’s body is pink with gold plates. She is small, with very short legs so she prefers to hover. Her faceplate is light blue. Ping loves thorough planning and consideration and is sometimes at odds with Robi, who likes to take chances. She tries not to be too pessimistic, even though sometimes she can’t help it. She is not too experienced at Robogram duelling, though she has a lot of knowledge about firewalls.
Early Life
Ping Robot never really liked her partner, Jun. She always thought he was too reckless, too greedy, not intelligent enough. Like most Robogrammers, Jun wanted to be the best of the best, but unlike most, he wasn’t willing to put in the hard work. He was always looking for an easy way out. Instead of studying cards and practising skills, he spent his time looking for shortcuts, which forced Ping to learn.
The shortcuts sometimes worked, many times they didn’t and they would get booed in the arena. As such, Ping becomes sceptical and cautious. One day Jun hears of a place where he can learn all the secrets of Robogram and become a master at it. Despite Ping’s warnings, he follows the directions he is given and ends up trapped in EGO‘s tower. As expected, Jun does not waste much time trying to find a way out before he abandons Ping and logs out for good.
