I'd like to start by saying happy Canada Day (yesterday) to all Canadians, like myself, and happy Independence Day to all the Americans! I've so far been having a good summer, free of the nasty summer school and such. Relaxing is underrated...
 
So anyway, on to Robot Noil.
 
Stats:
Based on stats alone, this is a fairly good equipment card, giving +3 to every arena. Now, +3 may not seem like a lot in one arena alone, but for something that is consistent, like Robot Noil, it really is a plus. You're basically guaranteed +3 wherever your Neopet or Hero may be. This is also a Petpet, so it fits into those uber powerful Petpet decks. It is an equipment, so you can only play it during your turn, and not during a contest (as opposed to an Item). As well, it is a Bank for 2, which some may consider below average. That is good, though, since it can easily work with Retribution. Most people prefer taking small steps to victory, anyway.
 
Ah yes. One last thing. This is one of few Equipment cards that does not have a Faerie element designated to it. That basically means you can tap any Neopet, and equip it to anything (except for Villains, of course).
 
Effects:
It's first effect is standard for most equipment cards, and that is to tap one of your Neopets to play it. It's other effect is what sinks it. When you lose a contest, you return this card to your hand. Although +3 is good, it is not titanic. So if your opponent decides to start ganging up on you by moving their Poogle Racer over, chances are you'll be returning this card to your hand. If you want to equip it again, you're going to have to tap another one of your Neopets. However, this can actually work to your benefit if you equip it to a Hero and you might lose. Chances are, though, that you won't be playing a Hero where it's going to lose. Their prime reason for them being in the game is a quick smack for a bank or draw. So it will be discarded, most likely, if you play it that way. I can't see where this effect would be all that advantageous, really.
 
Uses:
The only place I could see a use for this card is in Petpet decks using Kacheek Shepperd. However, there are better cards, such as the Zombie Moltenore (exact same, but +4 to all arenas, and you have to tap a Dark Neopet) that do the same thing.
 
Rating:
2/5 - The bonus is nice, as +3 can be quite helpful, especially how it's in all arenas. However, the fact that it returns to your hand if your Neopet or Hero loses a contest is not all that great. As well, because of the fact that it is a Petpet, its rating already plumets. Ratings shouldn't be comparative to other cards, but it's hard not to with this. There are so many other Petpets that are much better. Spots in your deck are limited, and this one just doesn't make the cut.

Hey guys, sorry about the long absence, but its summer now and im ready to reivew.
 
 
This is a very interesting petpet. If you loose with a Neopet or Hero, you get it back. This effect is great, if you mess up "woops, i didnt mean to do that, wait, ill take it back." Thats always a good thing. Now to pros and cons
 
Pros+
+3 for all stats
+Good effect
+ any type can use it
+great for newer players
 
Cons-
-This would be better if that that +3 was a 4 or higher
 
I give this an overall rating of 3.5/5 most decks can find a place for this card.
