What's the difference between a design, a bot and a team?

Designs

You make a design in the Factory by putting parts on the build platform and clicking Save design. A design is only the hardware. It has no code. Your designs are kept on the server under your account, and the Designs tab lists them.

Bots

A bot is built from one design. Click Build in the Designs tab, or + bot in Brain code, and give the bot a name. You can build several bots from the same design. For example, three scouts built from one "Scout" design can each run a different program.

Teams

A team is a named set of your bots, in order. In Brain code, click New team, name it, then drag bots from your designs onto it. Click ✕ next to a bot to take it out of the team.
