Wouldn't surprise me one bit. I just took a look at the credits
for _Book 8: Robots_ and I found Joe D. Fugate, Sr. listed under
"design." There was also a notice to the effect that the material
in the book had previously appeared in the _Traveller's Digest_, issues
1 through 3. They included an advertising blurb for the _Digest_, too.
;-)
The robot design rules are very reminiscent of the vehicle design
rules from MegaTraveller (at the time I first got the book, I was
reminded of _Striker_). After taking a glance through the book (I
haven't used it in quite a while), I can't really see any reason it
can't be used as-is with MegaTraveller.
One of the sample designs caught my eye--the one for AB-101, a
robot familiar to the readers of the _Digest_ (as I recall, he was in
_101 Robots_, too).

Know what's going on? Surely you jest... ;-)
