I made this for easy access to ROB's ATs. This is like Darth wafflez post except newer and better.

R.O.B.'s Advance Techniques:

One of my main reasons for this is that once when I was a complete noob there was nothing like this when I need to learn rob's ATs; so if anyone has this problem they can look here. So what do you think about this guys?
If I've missed anything please post them below

Glide Toss
What this AT Does: This AT allows rob to accelerate forward while throwing an item (usually Gyro).
Button input: Throw an item (usually a Gyro) and rolldoge: As soon as you begin to roll flick the C-stick in the direction you would like the item to be thrown. The better the timing for this is the further the acceleration.
Ex. Vid : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDtdmdkzaro

Reverse Roboburner
What this AT Does: Allows ROB to move in opposite direction while using roboburner.
Button input: Hit up-B and use control stick to start moving backward while facing same direction.
Ex. (N/A)

Gyro-Cancel
What this AT Does: Allows ROB to cancel charging animation of Gyro without shooting, shielding, or air dodging.
Button input: Hit shield button as soon as gyro charging animation starts.
Ex. vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZejjfEsS58 (I know this video shows waveboucegyro cancel but it is still a good example.)

Wavebounce
What this AT Does: Allows ROB to quickly switch directions after activating a special. It works with up-B and Down B.
Button input: hit down B or up-B and quickly turn the control stick in the opposite direction.
Ex. vid: (N/A)

Wavebouce Gyro-cancel
What This AT Does: Allows ROB to quickly switch directions by quickly activating gyro, waveboucing, and quickly deactivating gyro.
Button input: Jump forward hit Down B and wavebouce then quickly hit shield to perform gyro cancel.
Ex. vid: See Gyro-Cancel video

Dash Boost Roboburner (calling it this was TheMIKe's idea) :)
What this AT does: This AT gives ROB an extra push without using any additional fuel.
Button input: Dash in the direction of opponent, then quickly use up-B facing the direction you originally dashed from, so ROB's back is is facing opponent.
Button input: Dash, Up-B and Flick Direction Stick in from where you originally dashed from
Ex. vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81__y1jRRzo (It is very close to what this ROB player does in this vid at around :15 seconds.)I need to know if the third to last one is an AT or not, because for long time I've been wondering if it is or not, but I didn't want to post it and have everyone think I was a "noob" or anything of the sort.

D-air cancel
What This AT Does: Allows ROB to cancel the lag of D-air.
Button input: Walk off edge, use d-air then tilt control stick toward stage or D.I. what ever you wanna call it.
Ex. Vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBplR9bbgjQ

Megaburner
What this AT Does: Allows ROB to save A large amount of fuel instead of burning it up quickly
Button input: Hit up B, after doing this don't hold control stick to propel upward, instead repeatedly hit the B button to propel upward.
Ex. Vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lgM7CJGANU

General Item Uses

F-smash w/ an item in hand
Press A and hold A to pick up an item (for example a Gyro or Bananas), once this has been done...flick the C-Stick left or right (obliviously) to use F-smash. Note that when doing this the characters DOES NOT throw the item in hand.

This is an old video of mine. If this was discovered, i apologize, because i knew little about the boards. I personally call this, Robo Boost Burner. With tap jump activated, do a "full Glide Toss", and, at the end of that, the UpB, will rise very quick. At 2:42, i made one.

I´ll remake this soon, with all his posibilities. Thanks.

P.S.: I´m only capable of doing it´s jab cancel during a Glide Toss. Some time ago i made: Glide Toss --> Jab Cancel --> Fsmash. I´ll post here soon that, when i get that replay.

I remember an edge hog where u can just tap away from the edge, and then up-B (not immediately as u will pas the re-ledge grab) and yeah basically u grab the edge again, and it can be used to edge hog ppl like Kirby well, (some1 ese introduced this, I just noticed that it wasn't on ur list so i'm putting it there)

Indeed. While I had data on most of those, I forgot canceling the Dair. Expect an entry of that soon.

i think i wave-bounced the neutral B today. only did it once by accident but it looked like a wave-bounce to me but i got punished for it so i did not try it again (and i now what wave-bounce looks like since i was trying to learn snake and did it alot with his nades). Also i stopped playing for a while and when i got back into the game i heard rob has a momentum cancel with wave-bounce side B and if thats true then that is a AT.

Wavebounce is universal w/ all specials, but some specials just stop the moment from the wavebounce. (Lucas loves WB)

^ yea thats what i thought but since the neutral B was not mentioned i thought i might be wrong.

Gw are you sure you don't need to wavebounce the side B. Is there a video of someone showing how to do it?

We tried wavebouncing it and it gave a similar effect to trying to momentum cancel with Fox's shine. It boosted us, but in the wrong direction.

It took me a few weeks of random tourney results threads before I realized that you weren't the same person lol. Where does Mr. Escalator fit into this?

Hmm, IMO it can be considered as an AT as it's kind of a B reverse. I would not just call it as DASH CACNEL ROBOBURNER, probably the way that reaper put on that video would be better. ^^

Well....see the thing is I thought about calling it that, but it sounds lame that way. I think we (together) should come up with a better name.
another thing I said in the description its close to what he does in the vid about :15 sec into the vid.
the difference is that the way i do it, it gives little more momentum.

What about Dash Boost Roboburner - DBR(super lol, lol)? And on 0:15 sec, he did the same thing, but just at the opposite direction. x)

B-air wall of pain? How can B-air be a wall of pain when it is litterally impossible to procede with it?

doens't matter....
since useing an aireal cancels robobuner....up-b can be use again after doing DBR soo that mean b-air can be used again.
also its not a wall of pain that lasts very longer, like TL's b-air wall, but it's good enough to kill or make opponents recover lower.

Angry stomp? It has no use at all, but still.

What about that new glidetoss that involves rolling and dropping the gyro?
