| - | Slot indexes of a robot's inventory to an outside observer will be offset by 4. To an outside observer, slots 1 through 4 refer to slots in the robot toolbelt. Thus slot 5 to an outside observer is slot 1 from the robot's perspective. Yes, this can be confusing at first. This design choice was made so that, to an outside observer, [slot 1] always indicated the first tool item regardless of the robot inventory size, and [slot 5] was always the first. | + | Slot indexes of a robot's inventory to an outside observer will be offset by 4. To an outside observer, slots 1 through 4 refer to slots in the robot toolbelt. The first slot of the main inventory is slot 1 from inside the robot (internal view), but is thus slot 5 to an outside observer. Yes, this can be confusing at first. This design choice was made so that, to an outside observer, [slot 1] always indicated the first toolbelt slot regardless of the robot inventory size, and [slot 5] was always the first main inventory slot. |

| + | The robot inventory, again to an external observer, is sided inventory. The robot will not share all its inventory to all sides. Slot indexes __do not__ change to these different sides. Slot 1, therefore, always refers to the first toolbelt slot, even when inaccessible to a side. | ||
