 The only differences between the bots are their names and the port they'll be
 using.
 
-    var bots = [

 Now we can define the basic robot both of our Sphero robots will be based on.
 
-    var SpheroRobot = {
+    Object.keys(bots).forEach(function(name) {
+      var port = bots[name];
+
+      Cylon.robot({
+        name: name,
 
 Both robots will be connecting to Spheros, and so using the cylon-sphero
 adaptor:
 
-      connection: { name: 'Sphero', adaptor: 'sphero' },
+        connection: { name: 'sphero', adaptor: 'sphero', port: port },
 
 And both will be connecting to the same kind of device (you guessed it,
 a Sphero).
 
-      device: { name: 'sphero', driver: 'sphero' },
+        device: { name: 'sphero', driver: 'sphero' },
 
 Both robots will be performing the same kind of work as well.  Every second,
 they'll print their name to the console, set themselves to a random color, and
 roll in a random direction.
 
-      work: function(my) {
-        every((1).seconds(), function() {
-          console.log(my.name);
-          my.sphero.setRandomColor();
-          my.sphero.roll(60, Math.floor(Math.random() * 360));
-        });
-      }
-    };
-
-Now that we know what hardware the robots have and what work they'll be doing,
-let's create them! We'll iterate through our earlier `bots` array, creating
-a new Robot, assigning it it's unique characteristics, then passing it off to
-Cylon so it can keep track of it.
-
-    for (var i = 0; i < bots.length; i++) {
-      var bot = bots[i];
-      var robot = Object.create(SpheroRobot);
-
-      robot.connection.port = bot.port;
-      robot.name = bot.name;
-
-      Cylon.robot(robot);
-    }
+        work: function(my) {
+          every((1).seconds(), function() {
+            console.log(my.name);
+            my.sphero.setRandomColor();
+            my.sphero.roll(60, Math.floor(Math.random() * 360));
+          });
+        }
+    });
 
 And now that Cylon has all the robots we're intending to give it, let's get
 started!
