Had exactly the same issue as Alan. We were trialing Royal Render at the time. It also didnt work in xsi batch called from a dos batch file.(command line). Its the same if you happen to have one of the students use the free version and try and batch render in the EDU version.

That's not good.

I too was hit by this unpleasant behavior the one time I used it in production.

To get rid of face robot now, one would have to access every scene and model in the project and delete all the appropriate property's, and models which in itself is a mammoth task. And if by any chance you skipped one thing your back at square one, because all it takes is one model somewhere to infect everything again...

We have spent hours trying to remove it from files, and in one case last year it prevented one of the students from using the render farm. No matter what we did it kept coming back.
