OctoMY™ Birth Certificate

In a previous post I pondered if I should have robots be mortal/immortal or let the user choose. In the end I decided to let all robots be immortal, as "forcing" a robot to be mortal would be an artificial barrier at best. Clever OctoMY™ users would be able to "resurrect" their robots simply by performing a low-level copy anyways.

Instead of inviting a fight that is impossible to win, I decided to just ignore the implied fate of OctoMY™ robots by saying "if you are deleted you are no more, if you are copied you will live, and the copying happens at the mercy of your owner's skills".

Here is an early screenshot of the birth certificate in OctoMY™:
