Tending Bots for the Biters (My best suggestion ever :) )

Well: The Roomba with the cat on it is the "Tending Bot" or "Shepherd Bot". The small duck is a biters.
The stupid looking dog is me.

The job of the tending bot is, to keep the biters within the borders.

The tending-bot has some kind of "electric shocker" - like an electric fence for cows. They can also "grab" biters to bring them back or bring them to some other place.

The more it is researched, the more biters you can "hold" within the area.
And the more biters you can "milk" (for the alien eggs).


(*) This is such a stupid meme

Yes. It would make for some interesting designs. Make up some basic test code in a couple hours and see what happens!
