Has anyone considered the possibility of writing a bot that enters ROBLOX game servers and stays idle until it detects some sort of activity? It might be useful for e.g. storing/retrieving data with DP at any time, keeping a server open, recording gameplay, etc.

Also, redirecting asset requests! Using a program to intercept connections from the ROBLOX application, it could redirect url's that have some tag to external url's so that it could return data in some format (like an image), or contact a page that stores data in a database.

This is probably considered against the rules, but it might be fun to experiment with it if it's possible.

It would be extremely easy to do but it's pretty useless since you have to be in the server...

Ah, ROBLOX bots... When I think of all the things you could do with them, and yet, this is such an unexplored concept...

For example, you make a fake player join your personal server (because personal servers can only have one server). You could make it clean up the map automatically, answer to questions the users ask in the chat, etc...

Unless you get some server or a computer you have lying around to operate the program.

Has anyone actually reverse-engineered Roblox's protocol?

@popinman: Lol, Roblox uses yet another external library to do all the hard work?
