Utili-bots seem very underwhelming

Is it just me, or are Utili-bots made with the robotics skill more hassle than help? I've made two Cleaner-bots and they both just died and turned into scrap. The first one disappeared a while after ...

    The Utili-bots can be repaired and they can be upgraded so they last longer between repairs.

    By hovering over them you can see how much in disrepair they are And you are right that they should be turned off when there is nothing for them to do so they last longer between repairs.

@PugLove888 Fair enough 🙂 But I think there's a difference between breaking down and turning into rubble that I can only "collect".

In real life I've never found my vacuum cleaner turned into a pile of rubble 😉

@Draumkvad, Well, that is true!  My vacuums don't do that either, at least not yet! 😃  I guess the developers took the breakdown a step further to give players a sense of urgency in repairing robotics.  Otherwise we probably wouldn't direct our Sims to maintain them very often, if at all..  🤭🙂

    But.... they still do not do anything other than hover.  I placed my  cleaner bot over a  tub that needed  cleaning....  it just hovered there til it  went  down to  40% power or whatever.  it  was a total waste of time and Money.
