'''Robo Monkey''' is the [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. ~~It allows the Super Monkey~~ to ~~fire projectiles from both arms independently~~, ~~effectively doubling~~ its attack ~~speed~~, and ~~grants~~ the ~~ability to~~ fire a crit shot every 15-20 shots ~~which deal~~ +9 [[damage]]. ~~Additionally~~, the ~~[[pierce]] of~~ the ~~Super Monkey's projectiles~~ is ~~increased by 2~~. ~~Both arms of~~ the ~~Robo Monkey cannot have~~ the ~~same target~~ priority.

'''Robo Monkey''' is the [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkey]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede"/>This upgrade increases its pierce from 4 to 5, grants a copy of its attack that is fired simultaneously, and makes the tower fire a crit shot every 15-20 shots that deals +9 [[damage]]. The new copy of the attack has its own targeting option and cannot be the same as the first.<section end="lede" />

The order of the two targeting selectors do not correspond to its left and right arms; the arms are limited to between 0° and 180° in opposite directions, and its two targeting options control the angle between the arms. Buying the upgrade auto-sets its targeting to First-Strong (i.e. First on the main targeting option, Strong on the second one), regardless of which targeting priority it was set on.

Robo Monkey is a decent T3 Super Monkey that remains strong for its fair single-target, grouped, and numbers of projectiles. Both crosspaths are effective, with 2-3-0 focusing on DPS and 0-3-1 (or 0-3-2 for innate camo detection versus any non-DDT) its late-game knockback on MOAB-class and Super Ceramics. Path 3 crosspath Robo prefers [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]] for his capability to compress them into tight spaces ([[Worn Hero's Cape]]) and offer greater pierce ([[Sharpening Stone]]). Like all Super Monkeys, Robo prefers discounts, mainly from [[Monkey Commerce (BTD6)|Monkey Commerce]] to save a lot of money and for cheaper supports. Robo has fallen off as a powerful [[CHIMPS]] carry with its many nerfs, but remains a viable option.

For targeting priorities, the second targeting selector should be set to the targeting priority that you'll rarely change on Robo, as the first targeting selector is easy to adjust with hotkeys (default: {{key|Tab}}). First-Strong or Strong-Close are the recommended targeting options for Robo Monkey, not First-Last (the default dual-targeting option). First-Strong focuses on cleanup and chipping single targets, while Strong-Close improves consistency on single targets.

==Trivia==

*The left arm is technically the first attack, and the right arm is its second attack, but since the arm targeting only corresponds to angle between targets, the different arms usually do not affect gameplay except through bugs that cause only one of its arms to be affected.
