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. Rovers have the ability to pick up and use [[key]]s (except red keys) and [[tool]]s, push [[block]]s, and pick up [[bonus flag]]s, though the player is not awarded bonus points when they do. [[Canopy|Canopies]] and [[fire]] are [[acting wall]]s to rovers, even when they have [[fire boots]]. 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. | ||

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. There is one exception: if a rover is in a state in which it can attempt a move (e.g. fully on a [[floor]] tile) but doesn't because it is in a [[teeth]] state during an [[Odd and even step|odd]] [[tick]], it will still advance its 32-move counter on that tick. As a consequence, a rover with [[speed boots]] traveling normally will complete its teeth phases roughly 5 times faster (5 attempted moves every 0.4 seconds - one on each odd tick in addition to the one on even+0). | ||
