A '''Watt''' is a unit of energy in the [[Chibi-Robo! (series)|''Chibi-Robo!'' series]] used to power electronics, such as [[Chibi-Robo]]s.


==Purpose==
=History=
[[File:Chibi_Robo_recharging.jpg|thumb|Chibi-Robo recharging at an outlet in ''Chibi-Robo!'']]
Watts are a Chibi-Robo's life energy. It powers them up to keep them running and acting so they can continue performing. Since Chibi-Robos are autonomous robots, they slowly lose watts with each action they perform, including standing still. Should a Chibi-Robo be hurt in any way, they will also lose watts as well. Watts themselves have a couple of ways of being produced. Blooming Chibi Robo Houses can convert Happy points into Watts, with a conversion rate of about 10 happy points equalling 100 Watts. In ''Welcome Home Chibi Robo!'', trash can be compacted in order to convert into Watts for a whole entire house and Chibi Robo. A full Vaccum bag is enough to recharge a house's energy to it's Maximum, while regular trash only gives off 10 to 50 Watts.


Watts are also used as currency in ''[[Chibi-Robo!: Park Patrol]]''.
==''Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!''==
While Watts are never explicitly mentioned by name in ''[[Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!]]'', it is assumed that the energy used to power [[Chibi-Robo]] is indeed Watts. [[Telly Vision]] even mentions that [[Giga-Robo]] uses 1,000 times more energy than Chibi-Robo does, with the [[Giga-Battery]] being able to hold up to 10,000 kilowatts.


==Charging watts==
Chibi-Robo's battery will drain as long as he is not plugged into an [[Outlet]] at a rate of 1 Watt per 50 seconds if standing still. Different actions will drain Chibi-Robo's battery at different rates. Activating the [[Chibi-Copter]] uses 12 Watts, while falling with it only uses 0.3 Watts per second. The [[Chibi-Blaster]] costs 1 Watt per fired sonic blast, though a fully charged shot costs 5 Watts. The [[Chibi-Radar]] uses 1 Watt every second it is active. Each stroke of the [[Toothbrush]] uses 0.9 Watts, while pulling the [[Mug]] down to the floor uses 2 Watts. The [[Spoon]] uses 0.8 Watts per scoop, and the [[Squirter]] uses 2 Watts per spray. If Chibi-Robo wears a [[Suit]] and Poses with {{button|gc|z}}, each Pose costs 10 Watts to perform. Chibi-Robo's battery is also drained after falling off of high areas without using the Chibi-Copter, with the battery drain being relative to the distance fallen. Chibi-Robo also uses his Watts to power the [[Utilibot]]s. Ladder Utilibots require 90 Watts to fully extend, Warp Utilibots need only 10 Watts to power up, and Bridge Utilibots take 40 Watts to fully extend. Watts are also used to open Chibi-Doors, taking 10 Watts each. If a [[Spydorz|Spydor]] latches on to Chibi-Robo, it will drain his battery of 3.3 Watts every second.
To recharge watts, the player can plug their Chibi-Robo's Chibi Plug into an [[Outlet]] to recharge their electrical energy.


In ''[[Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder]]'', the only outlet that the player can plug into is in the Curator's Office. Not only that this is the only method of recharging Chibi-Robo, there are multiple batteries scattered throughout while exploring. If Chibi-Robo picks up a battery, it recharges them 100 watts. In all games, Chibi can upgrade his battery life by progressing through the game, allowing the player to explore even more without the worry of running out of energy quickly. The base amount of watts varries from game to game. In park patrol, begining battery life is 100 watts, while in "Plug into adventure!" and "Welcome home Chibi Robo!" it's 80.
When Chibi-Robo's battery goes below 20 he will begin flashing red. Chibi-Robo can recharge his Watts by plugging into any Outlet in the Sanderson house, which will also prompt the player to save the game. If Chibi-Robo's battery goes to zero, he will collapse and Telly Vision will bring him back to the [[Chibi-House]]. The first time this happens, Chibi-Robo will wake up wearing the [[Trauma Suit]] and [[Citrusoft Robotics]] will allow Chibi-Robo to purchase [[Chibi-Battery|Chibi-Batteries]] from the [[Chibi-PC]] Online Shop. After this, any time Chibi-Robo runs out of Watts, he will lose some {{Moolah|link}} after waking up in the Chibi-House. If Chibi-Robo runs out of Watts while carrying a Chibi-Battery, his battery will recharge to 20 Watts.


==Running out of watts==
Chibi-Robo begins his adventure in the Sandersons' home with only 80 Battery Watts, but will be sent Bonus Batteries from [[Citrusoft Robotics]] for collecting enough {{HappyPoints|link}} to reach certain milestones in the [[Chibi-Ranking]]s.
In ''[[Chibi-Robo!]]'' and '[[Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder]]'', should the player run out of watts, Chibi-Robo will power down and result in a "Game Over". The player would be returned to their [[Chibi-House]] or home for a emergency recharge by [[Telly Vision]] or [[Telly]].

Once Chibi-Robo activates Giga-Robo, he will be rewarded with an infinite battery life after the [[Alien]]s grant Giga-Robo's second wish.
==''Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol''==
Watts are given their official name in ''[[Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol]]'', where in addition to being used to power [[Chibi-Robo]], Watts are also used as a currency. Watts are accumulated when [[Chet]] converts any collected {{HappyPoints|link}} while Chibi-Robo is plugged into the [[Outlet]] in the [[Chibi-House]]. Chet converts {{HappyPoints}} into Watts at a set rate of 1:20, and stores the accumulated Watts in large battery reserves found to the left of the Chibi-House's Outlet. Each battery can hold up to 1,000 Watts, and the Watt Reserves up to a total of 99,999 Watts. These Watt Reserves are used as a currency to recharge Chibi-Robo, pay for items in the [[Chibi-PC#Chibi-Gear|Chibi-Gear shop]], and use [[Chibi-PC#Park Projects|Park Projects]] with the help of the [[Toy]]s. Each Toy has different costs for each Park Project, as well as different cost modifiers, and these costs change depending on the stage of their story they are in. When a toy is first met, or found after they've run out of Watts, a pink heart with an Outlet will appear in front of them. By plugging into it, Chibi-Robo will give the toy 30 Watts from his own Battery to give them renewed energy. After completing a few Park Projects, each Toy will run out of Watts and need to be found and recharged again.
Blooming Chibi-Robo's begin with a Battery Watt capacity of 100 Watts, but can purchase larger batteries in the Chibi-Gear shop as their [[Flower Count]] increases, as well as a Spare Battery if their Battery Watts reach zero.

In ''Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol'', after Chibi-Robo defeats [[Miasmo]], he receives an infinite battery.
==''Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji!''==
In ''[[Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji!]]'', Watts are used to not only power [[Chibi-Robo]], but [[Jenny's House]] as well.
The Cutting Edge Chibi-Robo begins with a maximum Battery Watt capacity of only 60 Watts. To increase their max Battery Watts, the Chibi-Robos will receive Bonus Batteries from [[Citrusoft Robotics]] for reaching certain milestones in the [[Chibi-Ranking]]s by collecting {{HappyPoints|link}}.

===House-Watts===
House-Watts are the Watts used to power [[Jenny's House]], and by extension, [[Chibi-Robo]]. Any time Chibi-Robo plugs into an [[Outlet]], he will recharge from the remaining House-Watts and any actions he performs while plugged in will drain House-Watts rather than Battery Watts. House-Watts are generated by disposing of [[Trash]] in [[Trash Can]]s found throughout [[Jenny's House]], recycling the waste into energy for the house. To increase the maximum capacity of House-Watts, Chibi-Robo must earn [[Happy Point#Rich Points|Rich Points]] by purchasing furniture.
==''Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder''==
In ''[[Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder]]'', the only outlet that the player can plug into is in the Curator's Office. Not only that this is the only method of recharging Chibi-Robo, there are multiple batteries scattered throughout while exploring.
If the player runs out of watts during a [[Work|job]] in ''Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder'', Chibi-Robo will lose all progress made within the job and will earn zero [[Happy Point]]s.
If the player runs out of watts during a [[Work|job]] in ''Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder'', Chibi-Robo will lose all progress made within the job and will earn zero [[Happy Point]]s.
==''Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash''==
In ''[[Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash]]'', Watts are stored in the [[Chibi-House]] by disposing of any [[Trash]] in the Generator, with a maximum of 999,999 Watts being stored. The Chibi-Robo in ''Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash'' has a Battery Watt capacity of 999 Watts, though this can be increased by scanning a [[Chibi-Robo Amiibo]] and turning into [[Super Chibi-Robo]]. Chibi-Robo can plug into [[Outlet]]s found throughout the [[Stage]]s to recharge using the Watts stored in the Chibi-House. If Chibi-Robo runs out of Battery Watts it will result in a Game Over. When riding on the [[Chibi-Wakeboard]], Watts can be replenished by collecting watt-balls.
