Robocrate

[black_and_blue]

Can't believe I'm the first one posting about this, and it's already been out for a while. Seems the latest TF2 update added Robocrates to the drop list but, as usual, there aren't any keys for these crates yet.

Valve usually does a big update at the same time as they add fancy new crates, so let the speculation begin on what kind of update will be released when they add the new keys!

Likely some new mvm maps. I hope we finally get to play as the BLU team against RED robots finally, since there are RED robots in the game files.

Are these sell-able? If so, what are the gullible masses willing to buy them for?

[DDYzErO]

Yes they are sell-able. but they are going for the same price as a regular crate.

[Supreveio]

It probably has something to do with the fan-made Robotic Boogaloo update.

That was supposed to come out several months ago, but was mysteriously delayed.

[Kujako]

Any word on when they'll be openable?

Any word on when they'll be openable?

My guess would be tomorrow, when the Steampipe Update hits and they inevitably add a bunch of cool stuff.

I got one of these the other day... Wonder what the hoopla's about.

I think we are approaching this wrong. What if robocrates weren't robot crates, but a robot philospher, Robocrates (Ro-back-ruh-tease) similar to Socrates? Instead of unlocking weapons with keys, we unlock knowledge.

Beware the read-write speed of a busy mechanical drive. -Robocrates

False counterfeit parts are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the chassis with a voided warranty. -Robocrates

Mateo... You just won

[Plinko]

I'm not paying $2.49 for any knowledge.

My brain is already full and I'm not shelling out for any expansion slots.

Where's the hidden TF2 Blog page with these quotes? Surely Mateo didn't make this up himself? It's far too clever!

Robocrates... I am now excited to see if this becomes a real thing.

Can Robocrates be an unofficial Ville mascot? Please?
