It can travel over [[dirt]], [[gravel]], and other similar [[tile]]s which normally block monsters, but like [[blob]]s, move at half the [[m/s|speed]] of most monsters. Canopies and fire are [[acting wall]]s to rovers. Rovers have the ability to pick up and use [[key]]s and [[tool]]s, push [[block]]s, and pick up [[bonus flag]]s, though the player is not awarded bonus points when they do. After a player has collected all required [[computer chip|chips]], rovers can remove [[chip socket]]s. Its movement mimics that of other monsters and changes periodically from one type to another. | ||

Each behavior lasts for 32 attempted moves. A cycle can be shortened if the rover gets stuck or runs into a [[Acting_wall|wall]], and can be lengthened by delaying voluntary movement, such as [[sliding tile|sliding]], being [[trap]]ped, or being on a [[clone machine]], in which cases it will not update for the duration it cannot voluntarily move. | Each behavior lasts for 32 attempted moves.

However, each [[tick]] a rover attempts to move but cannot counts as 2 attempted moves instead of 1. For example, if a rover is surrounded by walls, each non-[[teeth]] cycle lasts 0.8 [[in-game second|seconds]] rather than 32 ticks = 1.6 seconds. The teeth cycles would last twice as long because rovers obey [[odd and even step]] while in a teeth cycle. | ||
