Currently, when I hacked a bot, told it to follow me, but get invisible by
programm, the bot stand still because it doesn't 'see'.

Hacked bot should follow tux, even if he's invisible.

When I have a hacked bot following me and I hide behind some not see-through
obstacles, it finds me though.

I don't see why a hacked bot should follow an invisible Tux. The whole point of
"invisible" is that Tux is made invisible to droids.

I agree with Arthur, hacked bots should not be able to follow an invisible Tux.
I've edited the title to make the proposed change more clear, as I though the
problem was that hacked bots *were* able to follow an invisible Tux.

I think that currently (0.16+git) you 
should be capable to install infrared 
sensors on droids. That would be the 
"correct" approach.

jesusalva, I see only get_sensor() implemented, and AfterTakeover only prints which sensor the droid has installed. There is no option to install a better one.

I don't see a problem with making friendly bots follow tux. You could explain this by tux sending network commands telling the bot where tux is.

Another option is also to keep this as is and upgrade sensors on all 600+ by default, as part of invisibility nerf.
