Sackbot Pads

Sackbot Pad
Type:	Gadgets
Category:	Sackbots
Inputs:	1

The Pad Input and Output Pad, collectively referred to as Sackbot Pads, are a pair of scrapped Controlinator variants found in the May 5, 2010 prototype of LittleBigPlanet 2. These were used to interface with Sackbots by sending or receiving controller signals. They look identical to a standard Controlinator and have all the same tweaks and options, but will only function when attached to a Sackbot.

These two gadgets were eventually dropped in favor of the Controlinator's "Override Sackbot" tweak, although they will still function if ported over to the final game. When present in a level with a Controlinator, they will operate on a separate Remote Control transmitting and recieving field from normal Controlinators and any other variants.

Pad Input

The Pad Input gadget is used to input controls to a Sackbot; all of the buttons on the Controlinator only have inputs and will control the Sackbot's action for that button when activated. For example, if a 3-Way Switch is connected to the Pad Input's Left/Right input, the Sackbot will walk left and right when the lever is pushed in the corresponding direction.

Output Pad

The Output Pad gadget is used to recieve a Sackbot's output controls; all of the buttons on the Controlinator only have outputs and will activate when the Sackbot acts out the control for that button. For example, if the Sackbot jumps whilst following a target, the output will send a signal.
