If I recall correctly, the Starship Ops Manual made allowance for
the possibility of running ships with reduced crew, even without
the help of robots or oversized computers. You just increase the
level of difficulty for the relevant tasks if somebody has to do
more than one job.
No, this isn't the start of an anti-robot tirade. Keep the robot
designs coming in. BTW, is anybody going to collect robots in an
anonymous ftp archive, as someone did with vehicles?
