Scratch Bot
What it fixes
Scratch Bot removes repeated manual scratching once you can feed tickets into the route reliably.

What does Scratch Bot do in Scritchy Scratchy?
Scratch Bot is the first major automation anchor. It scratches tickets for you, but it does not make a route profitable by itself. The bot is strongest when your ticket choice, cash reserve, and table flow are already stable enough to repeat.
Scratch Bot
What it needs
It needs a ticket path that keeps the bot supplied without turning every refill into a messy table reset.
Scratch Bot
What comes after
Fan, Sticky Mat, claiming tools, and refill automation matter once the bot is no longer the slowest step.
Scratch Bot purpose in plain language
Scratch Bot turns repeated hand scratching into an automated step. In the opening minutes, scratching manually teaches you how tickets pay out and where the risk sits. Once that repetition becomes the main bottleneck, the bot lets the run move into system design.
The important test is not whether automation sounds good. The test is whether you can keep feeding the bot without running out of cash, buying the wrong ticket repeatedly, or creating more cleanup than the bot saves.

Next bottleneck
Bot plus movement tools
Once Scratch Bot is working, movement often becomes the slow step. Fan pushes tickets toward the bot, while Sticky Mat keeps that movement controlled.

Automation can repeat mistakes
Scratch Bot is dangerous if it repeatedly processes a ticket path your cash flow cannot support. Stabilize the route before trying to automate every purchase.
Check upgrade orderDoes Scratch Bot buy tickets?
No. Treat Scratch Bot as the scratching tool. Ticket refills and purchase automation are separate route problems.
Should I unlock Scratch Bot as soon as possible?
Usually you want it early, but only after the run has a ticket path worth repeating. If the route is still unstable, the bot can repeat bad decisions faster.
What gadget supports Scratch Bot best?
Fan helps move tickets toward the bot. Sticky Mat helps keep that movement controlled. Which one matters first depends on the current bottleneck.
