So Accounts*256 would be your heap size. Some may suggest 256 for first client, then 170-200 for the rest. Bergbreiter, S. Effective and efficient locomotion for millimeter-sized microrobots.

If there is no break profile selected, it will not break. MAKE SURE YOU TYPE YOUR BREAK PROFILE EXACTLY.

New profile - Creates a new profile which you can name whatever you want (This clears your current client selected on the list) However, if your TRiBot client is closed improperly (your computer crashed, TRiBot was terminated via Task Manager, etc.), the server never receives the message indicating that the script has been stopped. As a result, you will see the infamous message shown above even when you don't even have TRiBot open anymore! If the loading icon appears and the client doesn't show after it disappears, the garbage collector that TRiBot uses may not be supported on your system. You can change it by doing the following:

Break Profile - This is the "breaking profile" that your client will use. If there is no break profile selected, it will not break. MAKE SURE YOU TYPE YOUR BREAK PROFILE EXACTLY. You can find TRiBot client starter after loading up a tribot client. It is on the top of TRiBot client (View->Client starter). You will be then prompted with a client starter window. Here is all the information you need to know:

Requirements to Use

Haldane, D. W., Plecnik, M. M., Yim, J. K. & Fearing, R. S. Robotic vertical jumping agility via series-elastic power modulation. Sci. Rob. 1, eaag2048 (2016). Since it's completely untethered, Tribot's adaptability has the potential for various applications, including emergency relief situations and exploration missions. Plus, if one Tribot within a colony breaks down or malfunctions, another can take its place so that missions don't need to be delayed.

Switzerland's École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Osaka University in Japan have collaborated to create "Tribot," a small robot that's been modeled after trap-jaw ants. The Tribots weigh 10 grams and are designed to function like trap-jaw ants do in their colonies, where each member has a designated role like leader and worker. Fearing, R. S. Challenges for effective millirobots. In IEEE Int. Sym. Micro-NanoMech. Hum. Sci. 1–5 (IEEE, 2006). If you run your bots on your own computer, ensure that you have enough RAM and CPU power to handle the number of bots that you are running. Just because "it's working right now" doesn't mean that it will stay that way. I would recommend staying below 80%-90% both CPU and RAM usage, and even less if you are using the computer for other things as well.

Script Name: This is the script name you have in your Script manager. DO NOT USE ANY ABBREVATIONS OR ANY SORT. Type it exactly, and if there is a typo, the script will not start. Don't terminate TRiBot clients using the Task Manager unless you absolutely have to! While this often times this does work properly, as I have mentioned it above, it can also work very improperly. If you need to close a lot of clients at once, spend the extra 30 seconds to open each one and close the client as intended. Note: If you are VIP or VIP-E, you can instantly "Kill" an instance by using the Instance Manager found here: https://tribot.org/repository/user_panel/instance_manager/ Jung, G.P., Casarez, C.

A reinstall may fix the launching of TRiBot if nothing else has so far. Uninstall TRiBot through your operating system and then visit the install directory and delete any remaining files (this is important!). After making sure the install directory is clean, reinstall TRiBot.
