-Bots are a replay of a world record as it appeared to the person performing it and are automatically loaded with the map. They are not players, they are just a recording of the fastest time someone has in the specific style.+Bots are a representation of the world record holders of the map. These players are not cheaters or people, they are just a recorded run of the fastest time someone has in the specified style.

-Some bots are "broken" because of a bug that causes bots to save improperly if the player reset right as they hit the end zone on a world record run. This was supposedly fixed on 7/21/20 so any bots after this date should be unaffected. +Some bots are broken because of a bug that caused bots to stand in place if you reset right as you hit the end zone on a WR pace run. This was fixed on 7/21/20 so any bots after this date should work, unless a new bug is found or Quat unintentionally breaks bots like what has happened in the past. Some other reasons for bots being broken include, Quat breaking bots, and roblox breaking bots, this is normally fixed pretty quickly and only extends a few days at most unless Quat is very busy when this happens. Finally the last reason some WRs dont have times is because they are old records, this means they were from before Quat and Itzaname changed the database, around early to late 2019.

-In the event that a game or ROBLOX update break bots it will most likely be fixed in a few days.+
