Colored Robot Name (With pictures!)
So I found a way to get colored robot nametags with Winsock Packet Editor. (If you don't know what WPE is, go look at some other threads. I don't feel like rewriting a tutorial on that too)
What you need
- A Robocraft account
- Basic knowledge of Winsock Packet Editor
Steps
- Open Robocraft. Once you reach the editor, begin tracking "Send" type packets with WPE.
- Open the garage (G) and rename your robot. If I want the name "AwesomeBot" in red, I type "zzzzzzzzAwesomeBot" in the name field and press enter. The z's are just there as dummy characters, they can be any letter as long as you use 8 of them.

The packet should start with "..SetRobotName...zzzzzzzzAwesomeBot" or similar - Right click the packet, and select "Send."
- If you don't know what color code you want to use yet, pick a color here and copy the hex code. (center top)
- Returning to WPE, in the "Send a packet" window, click the first "z" on the right side of the packet editor pane. It should start flashing black/white.

If you mess up overwriting the packet, you can close the window and return to step 4 to retry. - After editing the packet data, check the "Send" box within the window. It should be set to send 1 time at whatever delay you choose.
- Send the packet, and then close and relaunch Robocraft.
- In the editor, the robot name on the top left of the front window will be colored according to the color code. The name in the garage, however, will show the code.

The name in the editor will be darker than the actual color once you enter a battle.
Changing the robot's name through the garage will undo this process and the color will be reset to white, you will have to repeat this process to set the color again.
Congratulations! You should now have a colored robot name!
(It may show up in black on the match loading screen but it usually works fine for me. I have also confirmed it always shows the true color for other players with a friend.)
