Use the console and then kill the Acid. Don't bother using magic on any Acids or Alkalines you find here unless they're in a massive group. Head up the now accessible conveyer belt and take the right-hand lift down. Take the bottom-left ladder down and go all the way along the platform to where the Robin Bow is. Go back up the ladder and then take the bottom-right ones down. Follow the path around and enter the little room, walking onto the conveyor belt. As soon as you touch one of the robots on the manufacturing line, a big crane will grab you and drop you on another conveyor belt. Get ready for a whole bunch of fights in a row and remember to heal mid-fight since you can't do so in-between them. Once you've done all three fights, exit downwards. Kill the bugs and head up the ladder. It is actually possible to avoid the bugs, it's just very hard to do. Of course, for someone who's clearly as talented as I am, it poses no problem...

Run across the walkway and go right, getting the Mid Tonic. Enter the door on that side and empty the chests before using the console. Once you do that, two Proto 3s go running around the room, but you can avoid them if you so wish. Leave the room and then take the left door. Empty the two chests then go into the little control booth. Use it twice, inputting both crane control codes you got from the console (XA and BB if you've already forgotten) to get rid of the two red barrels. Exit the booth, the room and then take the ladder to your left down. Head left and go through the door there. Nab the Bolt Sword and then use the console to get the last defence lock code, Zabie. (XABY) Trace your steps backwards through the room with the bugs in and step onto the conveyor belt. Follow it to the first exit and take the Ether. Get back on the assembly line and go into the small chamber, exiting through the door.

Take the lift up and then take the one on the other side by either killing the Debuggers or walking around them, whichever you prefer. Take the door at the top and then kill the two Alkalines and the Acid. You must kill them before the console will work. User the console and go down the hatch its just opened. Follow the path along until you reach the room with the laser beams in. Get the Hammer Arm and Titan Vest and then use the console, thus shutting down the lasers.

Once you've dealt with the Acids and Alkalines that drop from the ceiling, you can either take the newly opened hatch in the bottom-left corner of the room down or the lift outside the room. Either way, follow the path upwards, get the Plasma Gun and then enter the last defence lock code into the console. Once the door opens, go in, pull the switch and sit back to watch Robo do his thing. Naturally, all hell breaks loose and all the doors start to automatically close. Guess what's coming next... RUN AWAY! Well, you can actually walk away and make it just fine but that doesn't seem quite as dramatic does it? All power in the factory is off so you have to make your way to the exit by foot.

Once you've done creaming those guys, Crono and Lucca drag Robo off to Proto Dome to fix him up. When Lucca is finished, Robo joins you full-time and all four of you head through the gate, but where to?
