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

Robotics

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	???

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 reasonable amounts of materials to create their individual parts before assembling them completely.

All mechs follow the same basic pattern of construction:

Print out parts from Exosuit Forge
Assemble parts together into a basic skeleton
Perform several steps, including inserting wires and fastening rods to the chassis
Add any necessary circuit boards

Purpose	Name	Description	Material Requirements
Industrial work	Ripley APLU	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 5500_cm3 steel 4200_cm3 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.
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.
Search & Rescue	Odysseus	Light medical mech
Combat	Durand	Heavy combat mech
Combat	Gygax	Light combat mech
Combat	Marauder	Centcom combat mech
Combat	Seraph	Centcom combat mech
Combat	Phazon	High-tech mech with phase capabilities
Combat	Dark Gygax	Light syndicate combat mech
Combat	Mauler	Heavy syndicate combat mech. Based on the durand.
???	H.O.N.K.	Giant mech for heavy-duty trolling. The direct result of the Clown holding the RD hostage with a balloon sword.
???	Dark H.O.N.K.	Like the original, but for EVIL clowns!
???	DeathRipley	wait, what?
???	Onestar	Scribbles' favorite corn pollen hallucination. Technically not a mech, but a boss instead.	N/A
