If a Spider bot can move around freely, why doesn't it just run way and flee?

@MiniPixleStudios- It all depends on how you program it, they seemed to have programed it with a collision avoidance program. However you could program it to run away from people (or anything else) pretty easily.

What is the Spider Bot doing when it stops and then spins around rapidly for a few rotations?

It's following the code that was written out for it.. it doesn't always have to be doing something specific. :)

Why is it called a "Spider" bot?

Because it is supposed to move and act like a spider.
