If you run your bots on a VPS, use the most stable and reliable VPS that you can find. Sometimes paying an extra dollar or 2 is worth avoiding the headache that constantly running into this problem can cause. Switzerland's École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Osaka University in Japan have collaborated to create "Tribot," a small robot that's been modeled after trap-jaw ants. The Tribots weigh 10 grams and are designed to function like trap-jaw ants do in their colonies, where each member has a designated role like leader and worker. Note: If you are VIP or VIP-E, you can instantly "Kill" an instance by using the Instance Manager found here: https://tribot.org/repository/user_panel/instance_manager/

If you used to run TRiBot without any problems, but now it won't open, deleting your .gradle folder may fix this. Don't terminate TRiBot clients using the Task Manager unless you absolutely have to! While this often times this does work properly, as I have mentioned it above, it can also work very improperly. If you need to close a lot of clients at once, spend the extra 30 seconds to open each one and close the client as intended. Sorger, D. M. & Zettel, H. On the ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of the Philippine Islands: V. The genus Odontomachus Latreille, 1804. Myrmecol. News 14, 141–163 (2011).

Break Profile - This is the "breaking profile" that your client will use. If there is no break profile selected, it will not break. MAKE SURE YOU TYPE YOUR BREAK PROFILE EXACTLY. A reinstall may fix the launching of TRiBot if nothing else has so far. Uninstall TRiBot through your operating system and then visit the install directory and delete any remaining files (this is important!). After making sure the install directory is clean, reinstall TRiBot. Break Profile - This is the "breaking profile" that your client will use. If there is no break profile selected, it will not break. MAKE SURE YOU TYPE YOUR BREAK PROFILE EXACTLY.

Requirements to Use

Since it's completely untethered, Tribot's adaptability has the potential for various applications, including emergency relief situations and exploration missions. Plus, if one Tribot within a colony breaks down or malfunctions, another can take its place so that missions don't need to be delayed. You can find TRiBot client starter after loading up a tribot client. It is on the top of TRiBot client (View->Client starter).

Script Name: This is the script name you have in your Script manager. DO NOT USE ANY ABBREVATIONS OR ANY SORT. Type it exactly, and if there is a typo, the script will not start. However, if your TRiBot client is closed improperly (your computer crashed, TRiBot was terminated via Task Manager, etc.), the server never receives the message indicating that the script has been stopped. As a result, you will see the infamous message shown above even when you don't even have TRiBot open anymore! NOTE: Just because there is only one blank, does mean the client starter does not support client tabs. You just have to fill out the first blank for the second one to show.Kim, Y., Yuk, H., Zhao, R., Chester, S. A. & Zhao, X. Printing ferromagnetic domains for untethered fast-transforming soft materials. Nature 558, 274–279 (2018). If you run your bots on your own computer, ensure that you have enough RAM and CPU power to handle the number of bots that you are running. Just because "it's working right now" doesn't mean that it will stay that way. I would recommend staying below 80%-90% both CPU and RAM usage, and even less if you are using the computer for other things as well. Bergbreiter, S.

Especially because the solution to this problem oftentimes involves waiting for 15 minutes until you can do anything, the best solution to the problem is to prevent it entirely. While it is unfortunately true that the occasional computer crash is unavoidable, and that you sometimes have no choice but to use the Task Manager to terminate a frozen TRiBot client, you should avoid these situations whenever you can.

While you are running a script, TRiBot continuously pings the server letting the server know a script is currently being run on your TRiBot account. This is how the Instance Manager works. When you stop the script or close the TRiBot client, TRiBot pings the server one last time to let the server know that the script is no longer running. Under normal circumstances, you can then immediately start up another (or the same) script. Jung, G.P., Casarez, C. S., Jung, S. P., Fearing, R. S. & Cho, K. J.
