The Alpha Dawn rules book has several “standard” robots for characters to purchase. What follows is a small list of additional robot types to drop into your game setting.

Medical Robots
Medical Robots typically have standard bodies, though some have anthropomorphic bodies and the medical program. They are limited to levels 4 to 6. Medical robots serve as paramedics, nurses and even doctors. Military Medical Robots also have the attack/defense program and are typically armed.
Reconnaissance Robots
Reconnaissance Robots have standard bodies. They have the attack/defense, computer link and security lock programs, as well as being equipped with a holo screen and several, other items of surveillance. Many Reconnaissance Robots are also equipped with an alternative form of movement. They are limited to Levels 2 to 4.
Repair Robots
Repair Robots have standard bodies, though some have been know to have heavy duty bodies. They may be programmed with the robotics program and/ or the technician program. They may operate and repair any robots or vehicles they are programmed with. They are limited to levels 4 to 6.

Notes: The “Hawkeye” medical bot is able to prioritize his dual missions quite well. During the battle, he may switch his priority from “Protect” to “Repair” and back again several times. His built-in sensors will assess the tide of battle and evaluate the apparent danger of units within his sensory range and his programming will help him logically prioritize. However, the robot can also communicate verbally and can take suggestions from competent personnel. Who it deems competent is another matter. |
