- Basketball – “I'm sorry, Robot Flower. I feel like this is all MY fault… I tried to fix you for so long and-”
- Robot Flower – “Even if I wasn't myself for a while, knowing that you were by my side that whole time makes me feel… appreciated. Which is all I've ever wanted.”
- — Seasonal Shift
Basketbot is the femslash ship between Basketball and Robot Flower from the Battle for Dream Island fandom.
Canon[]
Battle for BFDI[]
Basketball inspects Robot Flower and finds out that she can send data to the ship and therefore can save both them and *8 names* from elimination.
Robot Flower was glitching due to being in too much heat, and remembers Basketball can help fix her. She then drags Tennis Ball to Four really quickly to ask Four to recover Basketball. When Basketball is recovered, Robot Flower tells Basketball to fix her, to which Basketball says she'll see what she could do.
The Power of Two[]
Basketball forms a team with Robot Flower. Robot Flower is impressed that Basketball stood up to Golf Ball. Basketball thanks her and says Golf Ball was being a total-, but is cut off when Robot Flower informs her that this is the first time Basketball has been on a team with no other balls, though this turns out to be false when Snowball joins.
When Snowball accuses Robot Flower, Grassy, and Bell for betraying them, Basketball says Robot Flower wouldn't betray them, other then a previous time.
When Robot Flower says she loves the challenge because she loves squares, Basketball asks "What about circles?" Robot Flower isn't sure how to respond.
After Robot Flower gives the team batteries instead of blocks, Basketball drags Robot Flower to figure out what is happening, leaving Eggy in charge.
Basketball is seen in a room looking at Robot Flower's history. She starts freaking out when she sees "Order RF001" which was the first order anyone put on Robot Flower's shop. It had an order of 3,000 items. Suddenly, Marker's paper clip hits Robot Flower's reset button. After Basketball pulls it out, Robot Flower is fixed, and Basketball laughs at herself for not knowing how Robot Flower works. After realizing that the challenge is almost over, Robot Flower immediately drags Basketball back to the team.
Basketball calls Robot Flower a life saver when she brings the string she needs to improve their attraction.
Basketball and Robot Flower built the breathable bubbles for their team.
When Eggy brags about how good of job she's doing at keeping TV in line, Basketball acknowledges that Robot Flower seems to be the one watching TV.
Robot Flower shows concern over her teammates using the robotic fish monster to deceive the real fish monster. Basketball says she knows this must be hard for her to watch and suggests that she hangs with TV until they're done. Instead, Robot Flower sets the robot to self destruct, with TV's help. Mortified, Basketball asks what she just did and Robot Flower says that mechanical minds stick together. Despite Robot Flower's sabotage, Basketball is still concerned when she and TV are killed by the water filling the robot.
Basketball says that Robot Flower isn't the strongest metal.
She pleads with Teardrop to stop pouring rain on Robot Flower because it hurts her. When the challenge starts, Basketball drags Robot Flower to her factory because she is displeased that none of her teammates are interested in her. Robot Flower asks why she is the only one who cares if she is okay while drying her off and complains that no one else is concerned about her. Basketball assures her that it is untrue. Robot Flower continues by expressing her dislike for her identity as "Robot Flower" and her desire to be more like the original Flower, Puffball Speaker Box, Purple Face, or Firey Jr. (ironically, all of these characters are variations of previously existing ones). Since it appears that Flower is preferred more, Robot Flower decides to have Flower's personality downloaded into her. Robot Flower begs Basketball to make her feel wanted, saying that is all she wants. Basketball makes the difficult decision to carry it out for her friend. Robot Flower has just downloaded Flower's season 1 personality when the power goes out, frying the computer, stopping the download, and briefly shutting her down. She wakes up and slams Basketball after reactivating. When Basketball tells Robot Flower that she needs to be fixed, Robot Flower pushes Basketball away, calling her ugly and saying that she needs her own space. She tells her to get out of her face and makes fun of her stutter. Basketball's comments are ignored by her as she pushes her aside and exits the room. Basketball worries that her personality was also changed. Later, when Eraser arrives at her factory seeking glue, Basketball can be seen becoming frantic. Basketball makes an effort to explain to him that Robot Flower might be lost forever. Basketball gets upset because Eraser only cares if she has glue. When Basketball tries to explain what happened to her teammates, they once more dismiss her concerns. She watches Robot Flower from the hotel's roof in the stinger, expressing concern for her, and promising to bring her back.
In Category One, Basketball reluctantly makes a deal with One in order to help restore Robot Flower's original personality. After she signs it, and is subsequently teleported to the Aboveground Factory, Basketball expresses how much she's missed the old Robot Flower, and the two of them share a heartfelt hug. When Robot Flower finds out about the actions that she caused when she had downloaded Flower's personality, Basketball apologizes to her for putting her through the whole ordeal, and emphasizes that the best version of her was always the one right here, which is a sentiment that Robot Flower appreciates.
As of Seasonal Shift, they are both Eliminated.
