Types of robots include the following:

Brain - thinker robots used to coordinate large numbers of other robots as well as perform independant operations
Commando - warrior robot that commands Sentry Robots
Guardian  - generally assigned to protect one specific area
Harsh Duty - large robots designed to operate in harsh environments
Provider  - general service duties such as steward work, culinary prep, etc
Sentry - these are mobile warrior robots with multiple weaponry and defenses
Worker - assist with upkeep & repairs on mechanical and electronic equipment

A robot will possess STR/STA, DEX/RS, and INT/LOG as a character does. Any robot with a LOG:30 or greater is capable of verbal communication, otherwise they must be instructed via preprogrammed/keypad routines via a tech or computer link. The maximum limitations vary acording to type, as follows:

Robot Type	Max STR/STA	Max DEX/RS	Max INT/LOG*	Max Programs
Brain	100/300	70/70	90/90	12
Commando	100/300	90/90	70/70	6
Guardian	90/90	70/70	60/60	5
Harsh Duty	200/200	30/30	45/45	2
Provider	45/45	45/45	60/60	3
Sentry	70/70	90/90	40/40	5
Worker	60/60	45/45	45/45	4

* Brains must have a minimum INT/LOG:60/60, Commandos 45/45

Price is according to type and ability points. The base price is always the same, but the abilities can be improved over time with additional funds (re: upgrades).

Robot Type	Base Price	Cost/Ability Point*
Brain	17,000Cr	20Cr/point
Commando	14,000Cr	20Cr/point
Guardian	6,000Cr	10Cr/point
Harsh Duty	6,000Cr	15Cr/point
Provider	6,500Cr	20Cr/point
Sentry	4,000Cr	10Cr/point
Worker	3,000Cr	15Cr/point

* Per point relates to each ability in the pair. Thus, STR and STA must be individually purchased. Re: if a character wanted to purchase a Sentry robot with STR/STA of 50/60, it would cost 500Cr for the STR:50 plus 600Cr for the STA:60, or 1100Cr total for the pair.

Robotic Programs

Program	Cost	Application*
Cargo Handling	1000Cr	H
Computer Link	4000Cr	any
Construction	1000Cr	H
Crop Harvesting	500Cr	H/W
Defensive Screen	500Cr	C/G/S
Guidance/Analysis	2000Cr	B/C
Leadership	3000Cr	B/C
Maintenance/Upkeep	500Cr	W
Medical Assistance	5000Cr	P
Melee Weapons	500Cr	C/G/S
Mining/Excavation	500Cr	H
Personal Service	1000Cr	P
Ranged Weapons	500Cr	C/G/S
Repair	1000Cr	W
Restrain	500Cr	G
Robotic Coordination	1000Cr	B/C
Scientific Analysis	4000Cr	P
Search & Destroy	3000Cr	C/S
Security Lock	500Cr	any
Stewarding	500Cr	P

*Adding a program to any other robot beyond the application of said program doubles the cost. Brains may utilize any program

Program Explanations

Cargo Handling - deals with the loading and unloading of cargo from a ship or vehicle, as well as warehouse storage.
Computer Link - allows a robot to communicate with a host computer and/or robot brain
Construction - deals with the construction of buildings, ships, roads, or any other structures
Crop Harvesting - allows for proper cultivating of plants including care, gathering, and processing
Defensive Screen - permits the use of defensive screens (re: inertia or albedo screen) 
Guidance/Analysis -  coordination based on interpretion of recieved data
Leadership - permits the command of other robots, whether physically present or via a computer link
Maintenance/Upkeep - allows for maintaining machinery, mechanic & electronic toolkits required
Medical Assistance - permits basic medical attention, medical kit required 
Melee Weapons - permits the use of hand held weapons for use in melee combat
Mining/Excavation - allows for the heavy workload involved with digging and processing of minerals
Personal Service - basic service program to assist organic beings, be it food service & preparation, ushering guests, operation of cars/cycles, and other general errands
Ranged Weapons - permits the use of firearms 
Repair - an upgrade of the basic maintenance/upkeep program that allows for assisted repair work, same tool kits required
Restrain - allows unarmed combat, as well as capture & binding options along with moving captives 
Robotic Coordination - permits the direction of other robots, one program must be installed for each type of coordinated robot (such as Sentry for sentry robots, Worker for worker robots, etc)
Scientific Analysis - allows for the interpretation of surrounding environments. Enviro Kit required
Search & Destroy - permits combat missions involving acquisition and tracking of targets, must be used with ranged weapons program
Security Lock - applies a -30 penalty to anyone wishing to tamper with the robot
Stewarding - general housekeeping and waste disposal duties
