Robot-inator was a sandbox activity on Disney Create based on Phineas and Ferb, released in July 2010. In it, users could create a robot and have it featured in the gallery.
Plot[]
Doofenshmirtz enlists the visitor's help with building the ultimate robot, so he can wreck havoc upon the Tri-State Area.
Gameplay[]
A canvas was provided alongside an outline of a robot as a base for the creations. Using the available body parts and painting tools, visitors could put their ideas into paper to invent their own machines. There were keyboard shortcuts for the tools to ease switching between them. After finishing the design, users were able to click the "Play" button to see it in motion in ten different scenarios, two for each of the five actions. If they wished to keep their work, they had the option to save it on the website, print it as a PDF, or download it directly into their computer. Alternatively, they could clean their slate with the "New" button.

Background Information[]
- Apart from the Brobot bodies, the parts seem to be sorted alphabetically going from the top.
- In edit mode, when an object is placed in the canvas, it automatically adjusts itself to the nearest body section in the outline.
- In play mode, the actions can be switched by clicking their buttons. This works in the middle of an animation, allowing for a quick change if the scene clicked is not the desired one.
- The refuel symbol of a robot drinking from a canister is a nod to a common trope in fiction regarding what machines consume.
- The flying pose of the robot in the first action scenario is a reference to Superman.
- In the second dance scenario, the Phinedroid dances in the stage from "The Baljeatles".
- The possible printed text in the second output scenario are a smiley face, a sad face, "XD", "^_^", "O.o", "O__o", ">.<;;", and "TT.TT". The latter six are ASCII art for two happy faces, two surprised faces, a sweaty face, and a crying face, respectively.
