A '''Medarot''' (メダロット, known in English as a '''Medabot''') is a mechanical fictional being from the Medarot series. These beings are medium-sized robots mainly used for robottling, this is, making these robots battle between themselves as a sport, but they also have other uses.


A Medarot is composed of six parts total. A [[Tinpet]], a [[Medal]], and four [[parts]]: one head, two arms and one pair of legs. Each of these components will affect overall the behaviour of the Medarot.
A '''Medarot''' (Japanese: {{r|メダロット|Medarotto}}), known in English as a '''Medabot''', is a small sentient robot from the Medarot series. A Medarot's intelligence comes from the [[Medal]] placed in its back, hence the name - short for "Medal Robot".

Medarots come in a wide range of designs with fully swappable parts. The majority of Medarots stand around 75 cm tall, but larger models do exist. The most common use for Medarots is to have them compete in battles against other Medarots, known as [[Robottle]]s. A person who owns a Medarot is called a [[Medarotter]].


The parts will determine what the Medarot is capable of. In battle, it will determine what attacks it can use and in what kind of terrain it moves better. There are four parts a Medarot must wear in order for it to be completely operative.

The head part is where the Medal is stored. So, if the head of a Medarot ceases its functions, the Medal will eject and the Medarot won't be operable anymore. In a battle, the head is the only one that posseses limited attacks.
There are three necessary components that make up a Medarot:


The arm parts, left arm and right arm, will determine the other two attacks a Medarot can perform. These parts can perform attacks as long as they're active, or not blocked by another Medarot's attack, and as long as the Medarot itself is operative.
* '''[[Tinpet]]'''


The [[Medarot Leg Types|leg parts]] will determine how fast a Medarot is (even when this speed can also be determined by the part in use, for example, when a Medarot using a laser attack is charging it). It will also determine in what terrain the Medarot moves better and worse.
The Tinpet is a metalic skeleton that serves as the inner frame of the Medarot. Tinpets come in "male" and "female" styles with different compatible parts.


For a Medachange to be performed, all of the parts must be operative or the Medachange won't work. Also, all of the parts must belong to the same Medarot.

"Parts" refer to the customizable pieces that completely cover the Tinpet, providing weapons, additional sensors, and armor. A complete Medarot required a head part, two arm parts, and a leg part. Leg part come in a variety of designs for different types of terrain.

The Medal is the "brain" of the Medarot, and what determines its skills and personality. The Medarot only becomes active when a Medal is placed in its back. The Medal will automatically eject if the parts become heavily damaged - a feature often used to determine the end of a Robottle.

A Medarot (Japanese: メダロット), known in English as a Medabot, is a small sentient robot from the Medarot series. A Medarot's intelligence comes from the Medal placed in its back, hence the name - short for "Medal Robot".

Medarots come in a wide range of designs with fully swappable parts. The majority of Medarots stand around 75 cm tall, but larger models do exist. The most common use for Medarots is to have them compete in battles against other Medarots, known as Robottles. A person who owns a Medarot is called a Medarotter.

Components

There are three necessary components that make up a Medarot:

The Tinpet is a metalic skeleton that serves as the inner frame of the Medarot. Tinpets come in "male" and "female" styles with different compatible parts.

"Parts" refer to the customizable pieces that completely cover the Tinpet, providing weapons, additional sensors, and armor. A complete Medarot required a head part, two arm parts, and a leg part. Leg part come in a variety of designs for different types of terrain.

The Medal is the "brain" of the Medarot, and what determines its skills and personality. The Medarot only becomes active when a Medal is placed in its back. The Medal will automatically eject if the parts become heavily damaged - a feature often used to determine the end of a Robottle.

When not in use, the Medarot's Medal can be stored inside a specialized wrist watch called a Medarotch. The Medarotch can also be used to transport the Medarot's parts instantly from another location, and issue commands to the Medarot during a Robottle.

Impact

Medarots have become a staple in everyday life for many people in the Medarot universe. Robottles are considered a major sport, with official referees, rankings, and international tournaments.

Not all Medarots are designed for battle, and some models are even geared towards specific purposes such construction work or law enforcement. Many people are given Medarot partners as children, which they keep with them for the rest of their lives.

The development of Medarots and Medarotches is mainly handled by the Medarot Company, although smaller producers also exist. Tinpets and parts are frequently stocked at department stores and convenience stores, and many stores will offer to buy back used parts.

Although Medarots are designed to avoid harming humans, they may still be used by criminals (such as the infamous RoboRobo Gang). Medarot-related crimes fall under the jurisdiction of the Select Force.
