Getting Started
ROBLOX is a casual virtual world. Every user has a Character and a Place.
A Place can be modified in two ways. Generally, a user will modify his or her Place by Visiting from the ROBLOX web site. When you visit your own places, the changes that you make persist until the next time you (or anyone else) visits your place.
When you visit someone else's place, changes that you make do not persist. This means that you can destroy or play around in someone else's place without losing their initial setup.
When Visiting a place, a small number of tools are available, including Move, Duplicate, and Destroy. A Brickyard is appended to a user's Place to provide raw material for building. The Insert menu may be used to insert Things (ROBLOX Models) from the ROBLOX web site.
If you want to build a very complex Place, you may choose to use Roblox Studio

With scripts you can inspect and control the behavior of nearly anything in ROBLOX.
Community Guildelines
The ROBLOX Community Guidelines are designed to make ROBLOX a safe place for people of all ages, including very young children.
