A couple interesting things I've noticed are that sometimes when a bot is killed there is what appears to be a brief appearance of a sphere; perhaps if one is close enough he could grab it. Also, I've noticed that energy power-ups from dead bots will be "re-absorbed" -- see the beginning of Level 6 -- with an accompanying robot-generation noise, so grab them quick! >Daniel. rms Anyone get thru Level 6 on Insane on a single ship? I've gotten close, but it is a bear.
