Here is the script for their robo-conlang:
Each character is built with at least two and as many as six horizontal tick marks in two columns of three between a pair of vertical frame bars. Each character can be represented by a pair of octal digits {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} which stand for the binary value of the ticks, where the top tick is the least significant bit. The two halves of each character must be connected, and so must share at least one tick (bit) in common.
There are 37 possible characters and they can be used consecutively, giving 37^2 = 1,369 possible 2-character word symbols and 37^3 = 50,653 possible 3-character word symbols.
The valid characters are (numerically):
11 13 15 17 22 23 26 27
31 32 33 35 36 37 44 45
46 47 51 53 54 55 56 57
62 63 64 65 66 67 71 72
73 74 75 76 77
Or as symbols:
When symbols are joined into a single word the vertical frames are overlapped so that each word becomes a single symbol.
The spaces between adjacent words take the same space as a pair of ticks and can be represented as ASCII spaces. Using the ASCII period to represent the vertical framing bar, text can be written as digit pairs separated by periods which, with an appropriate font, could also be seen as the characters themselves.
Thus:
.11.67.23. .63.54. .35.36. .37.44.45. .63.64. .65.66.67. .71. .13.15. .17.22.23. .27.
with a different font looks like:
Words are a maximum of three characters in length, and while the characters look very similar and might be hard for a human to read, words are not read character-by-character, but as a whole shape, and each word taken as a whole is quite different from the others.
