The game takes place at the feuling station of the factory, where [[Robots (Fillbots)|Robots]] fall down and assemble themselves on the right side, before moving down the conveyor belt to the fueling pump. The objective is to hold down the pump at the right time to fuel up robots just the right amount. There are two kinds of robots the player will need to fill: a medium one (4 count) and a large one (8 count).

While the background is relatively bare in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', this is changed in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' where beakers with oil bouncing through them (timed to the offbeats in the music) and gears moving the conveyor belt are added for visual variety.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', this game technically has three "versions" in the game; one for its own appearance, one for [[Fillbots 2 (DS)|Fillbots 2]], and one for [[Remix 1 (DS)|Remix 1]]. However, all three of them are identical.
*In [[Cheer Readers]], a full [[ROBO M]] can be seen in the [[Practice]], appearing on the open books during the "Ok, it's on!" cheer. The page used for when the player mistimes it shows an unfilled ROBO M instead.
*This game was known as "Robot Factory" in preview versions of the game<ref>[https://youtu.be/YNYCxVwd_YU Rhythm Heaven Gameplay (Nintendo Media Summit Fall 2008)]</ref>.
**There is also an [[Cheer Readers/Development|unused sprite]] of the full unfilled ROBO M image in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
*Fillbots was succeeded in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' with [[Screwbot Factory]]; both involve the player trying to power robots a machine by holding the stylus or button for a specific amount of beats. They share the same name in many languages. As both are present in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', their names were altered to differentiate them. In the case of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]'', this game got the word {{Nihongo|'''オイル'''|Oiru|Oil}} while [[Screwbot Factory]] got {{Nihongo|'''ネジ'''|Neji|Screw}}.

*This is one of the few games to keep the same controls from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' to ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' in Simple Tap mode, alongside [[Lockstep]]. Excluding the ability to flick despite not needing to, [[Shoot-'em-up 2]], [[Freeze Frame]] and [[Munchy Monk]] can also be included.
**There is also an unused sprite of the full unfilled ROBO M image present only in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
*This game appears in the "[[Wario...Where?]]" [[Challenge Train]] course. In it, ROBO Ms are made to look like [[Mike]], and [[Penny]] and [[Dr. Crygor]] and can be seen in the background.
*There is a [[Practice]] theme intended for this game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', but it goes unused.
==Development History==
*This is one of the few games to retain their original tap controls, the others being [[Munchy Monk]], [[Freeze Frame]], [[Shoot-'em-up 2]], and [[Lockstep]].
{{Main|Fillbots 2/Development}}
*This game appears in the "Wario… Where?" [[Challenge Train]] course. In it, ROBO Ms are made to look like [[Mike]], and [[Dr. Crygor]] and [[Penny Crygor]] can be seen in the background.
*There is an unused image showing a factory with a strawberry and the number 2 in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. This, alongside the information from [[Fillbots]]'s [[Rhythm Item]], implies the red oil is actually strawberry juice.

Still need practice, huh? You need more practice with the big ones.
Eh. Passable.
Good work fueling 'em up! You filled the big ones just enough.
I found this tiny gear on the road by my house. It's tiny, but some machine needs it to work. In a way, I'm just like this gear, doing my part for the machine of society. Is the machine OK?
