The robotics system of SS14 has not been extensively developed upon as of writing this.

Robotics

Robotics lab on Box Station

Currently one of the least fleshed out systems, alongside genetics and virology. While fairly limited in practical use, robotics knowledge can still be useful in some scenarios. Key research milestones include Robotics technology, Salvage technology and Ripley technology.

To restate, there is not a lot of content here. Please don't be disappointed.

Exosuit Fabricator

The womb from which all robots emerge, bit by bit. Every robotics lab is outfitted with one by default, so no worries trying to make one.

Image	Name	Description
	Borg Arms	Metal appendages with small prehensile digits on the end for performing motor functions - In other words, arms. Used not only for making robots, but for other machines in need of fine motor control, such as biomass reclaimers.
	Ripley Parts	Used to create a Ripley APLU mech.

Bots

Lil' automatons who can help in equally small ways.

Image	Name	Description
	Cleanbot	For when the janitors are spread too far and thin to clean up the pools of blood in sci/med/kitchen. Slowly mops up any liquid spills on the floor.
	Medibot	For when the real doctors are too busy getting high off their balls on space drugs. Currently nonfunctional(?)
	Honkbot	The brainchild of Science and the Clown. Ghost-role compatible.
	Mimebot	Even more nonverbal than the average robot.

Mechs

Golems of steel and wire designed to carry out a variety of tasks respective to their model. Must be researched before construction, and require large, though (usually) reasonable amounts of materials to create their individual parts before assembling them completely.

All mechs follow the same basic pattern of construction:

1. Print out parts from Exosuit Forge
2. Assemble parts together into a basic skeleton
3. Perform several steps, including inserting wires and fastening rods to the chassis. Examine the chassis and follow the provided steps.
4. Add any necessary circuit boards

Purpose	Image	Name	Stats	Description	Material Requirements
Industrial work		Ripley APLU	Durability Armor Speed Equipment slots Special attributes	Cargo's best friend. Hardly ever used for its intended purpose (moving crates), as the science team generally opts to instead keep it locked inside the lab, and because cargo never asks for one.	Chassis 5500cm3 steel 4200cm3 glass Assembly 5 steel sheets 1 LV cable 10 rods 1 power cell ripley controls module ripley peripherals module
Industrial work		Ripley Mk2 APLU		Pressurized upgrade of the Ripley, suitable for EVA.	Chassis Assembly
Industrial work		Hauler APLU		Unused variant of the Ripley. Has a higher speed than the original and spawns in cargo, but is very flimsy. Currently being developed	N/A
Hazardous environment work		Clarke		Heavy-duty mech designed for extreme environments.	Chassis Assembly
Search & Rescue		Odysseus		Light medical mech	Chassis Assembly
Combat		Durand		Heavy combat mech	Chassis Assembly
Combat		Gygax		Light combat mech	Chassis Assembly
Combat		Marauder		Centcom combat mech	N/A
Combat		Seraph		Centcom heavy combat mech. If you see one of these, shit has REALLY gotten out of hand.	N/A
Combat		Phazon		High-tech mech with phase capabilities	Chassis Assembly
Combat		Dark Gygax		Light syndicate combat mech	N/A
Combat		Mauler		Heavy syndicate combat mech. Based on the durand.	N/A
Trolling		H.O.N.K.		Giant mech for heavy-duty trolling. The direct result of the Clown holding the RD hostage with a balloon sword.	Chassis 15000cm3 steel 6000cm3 glass 2500cm3 bananium Assembly 1 clown mask 1 clown shoes 1 power cell HONK control module HONK peripherals module HONK weapon control & targeting module
Creating fear and disruption		Dark H.O.N.K.		Like the original, but for EVIL clowns!	Chassis Assembly
???		DeathRipley		wait, what?	???
Killing Fascists		Onestar		Scribbles' favorite corn pollen hallucination. Technically not a mech, but a boss instead.	N/A

Equipment

Image	Name	Description	Material Requirements
	Hydraulic Clamp	Can pick up and store large objects in the mech's internal storage.
	Drill	Drills through rock. And bone.
	Banana Mortar	Launches banana peels.
	Pie Cannon	Launches pie at terminal velocity.

Borgs

not even real!

YET.
