If robo stays in 600AD, and you can visit him again with future robo, why don't the others run into themselfs?

Robo is there continuously from 600AD to 1000AD. The others just pop in and out for relatively brief periods of time.

So I have a question, If Robo stayed back in 600 AD until 1000AD, Wouldn't he see himself during that course and when the resurected him in the cathedral, would he remember seeing Crono and co.+himself?  Interesting

When would he see himself in between those eras? The group went from 600 to 1000 and immediately got Robo, they didn't go off and do something else.

And then you can go back to 600ad afterwards and see Robo working in the field.

exactly.  so if im Robo, the instant that crono and company went back to 600 AD and we saw each other, would the Robo in the Party suddenly remember that event?  Like De Ja Vu

Time travel is scewy. If it was true to real life physics, we would have to be able to see robo working i nour first affray into 600AD, in fact you might see your selves. On the other hand, if we were following real-world physics here, we would have to accept the fact that timetravel is impossible, and it's all  just an elaborate hoax.

No, I think we need to accept it as a game.

Or maybe, since they didn't put him to work in the fields yet, you won't see him working in the fields until he actually goes to work there. It's not like you to go the exact same minute ever time. You don't have to defeat Magus every time you go there. I don't see where the paradox comes from. 600 AD Robo is working on the field. If he sees his future self, it's simply. "Oh. Crono came to get me when I completed this. Mmkay." Current Robo sees himself and goes. "Hey, I remember that!"

In the game, we see that one can travel from time period to time period with time either freezing from the point one leaves the time period (1999 apocolyspe) or flowing at a constant amount like in real life.  The reason, I guess, Robo is still there because remains in the same spot over several hundred years, versus the characters who are either jumping instantaiously from the moment they left the time period to the moment they arive or time actually passes between when they leave to when they return.
    Imagine two people in a room, one leaves the room and enters the same room except now time has passed.  He takes the person from this new room (which is the same as the old room, except it is a diffrent time period) and takes them back to the "first room (the past)", and of course, the secound person is still there (which he has to be in order for the older version of himself to exist) and in theory, the secound person will have full memory prior to the event, except it would have been from his younger state.
   Perspective of first person (Chrono and friends):  Leaves secound person behind, meets him in future, brings him back to the present, now there is two versions of the secound person, the past and future.
   Perspective of secound person (Robo):  First person leaves and either a porportional amount of time passes (the amount of time the first person is in the future) or he instantaniously reappears with secound persons future self.  Supposedly the future version leaves (otherwise we get an infinitly increasing paradox, much like how the travelers leave).  He then waits until the first person arrives (from the past) and takes him to meet his past self.
   Because none of the other characters are left in one time period for more than a few days, they cannot transend the great distances between the period like robp did, thus they cannot meet themselves!

Hahaha you're room person person room thing is fine and makes sense. but it's too complicated!

Can we just agree that from the moment that Chrono and Crew started time travel, the time flow continued to be Linear? A minute in each time zone was equivalent to each time ZONE!

Doesn't the Epoch make allowances for the 'personal time line' of those who use it? So that they go to '600AD plus however long they spent away from 600AD' rather than going to exactly 600AD. If they went to the same 600AD every time, it'd be like 'Legend of Zelda-Majora's Mask' or 'Groundhog Day' and they'd have to keep redoing everything everytime they went, or worse, it'd be like 'Back to the Future' and they'd keep bumping into each other, which woudl be what would happen if they were repeatedly returning to the exact same moment of 600AD every time they went there.
Since people remember what you've done when you go to a place, and new events occur, it's reasonable to assume that the time travellers are still moving on their own personal timeline while they travel.

If Robo stayed in 600 A.D., and you go and bring a future Robo, the other Robo won't be kicked off by Time Bastard, because it's not a time clone. It's merely a past version. Like Magus being near young Janus and still not disappearing.

you have to remember that time keeps flowing... think of the gates and epoch as sending the player back a fixed amount of time.... in your example your going back 400 years in the past, its still saturday 9:39pm feburary 4th but 400 years earlier robo didnt go with you when you left the age, he chose to stay there, therefore he will always be there lets say robo before staying is 5,000 years old, the one that you have in your party in this example is 5,400 years old

The gates cannot be sending you back constantly to 600 AD, because the first time you go there Queen is missing and bridge is destroyed.  When you go there again what do you know?  Queen is saved (you saved her) Zenan bridge is back up (you beat up Zombor).  Thus it was only relative time travel, not absolute.
