Since there was some interest, I did a few robot designs. If there are errors,
please forgive me--I've been pretty tired the last couple of days.
Note: To anyone fussing with Book 8 robot designs--_always_ design the
brain before worrying about anything else!

Gluek Automation Gopher Assistant Steward Robot TL12
The Gluek Gopher is built around the Gluek Automation Model 12-01 brain,
and is intended for light duty in restaurants and starships as a waiter or
assistant steward.
RobotID: Gluek Gopher, TL12, Cr14,049
Chassis: 1/2, Disp=10L, Conf=4USL, Armor=1F, Weight=7.2kg
Power: 1/2, Batteries=1.85kw-h, Dur=30 minutes
Loco: 1/2, Wheels=4, P/W=69
Comm: none
Sensors: 1*visual, 1*audio
Devices: 1*very light arm
Off: -
Def: -
Brain: CPU=5 Linear, Storage=11 Standard
Program: Low Data, Limited Basic Command, Steward-1
Other: Profile=0501
Notes: Duration is based on full power usage of all components
simultaneously. Realistic duration would be greater, and the
robot would typically be programmed to recharge itself when not in
use.
[Game system note: Designed using Book 8 with no MegaTraveller vehicle system
enhancements, but typed in MegaTraveller format.]
Gluek Automation Ganger Engineering Robot TL12
The Ganger is a fairly simple dumbot intended to serve as an assistant
engineer aboard a starship. It use the standard Gluek Model 12-23 robot
brain. The Ganger's grav modules supply enough lift to carry up to 450kg of
additional equipment.
RobotID: Gluek Ganger, TL12, Cr204,625
Chassis: 10/25, Disp=150L, Conf=3USL, Armor=1F, Weight=183kg

enhancements, but typed in MegaTraveller format.]
Gluek Automation Gunslinger Gunnery Robot TL12
The Gunslinger is designed around a Gluek 12-11 robotic brain, and
provides a low cost gunnery capbility to a starship operator. It is avail-
able with its program specialized for either lasers or missiles.
The Gunslinger is an immobile box which is plugged into the appropriate
gunnery position on board a starship, usually in a location which would only
be accessible to members of the crew. This makes it more difficult for a
hostile group aboard the vessel to disable the guns, which would be desirable
during a hijacking attempt, for example. Communication with the bridge crew
is via the ship's computer network, and the robot uses the ship's sensors
(via the network) to engage targets designated by the bridge crew.
RobotID: Gluek Gunslinger, TL12, Cr66,100
Chassis: 1/2, Disp=20L, Conf=4USL, Armor=1F, Weight=6.8kg
Power: none, Dur=indefinite
Loco: none
Comm: none
Sensors: none
Devices: Power interface, Brain interface

enhancements, but typed in MegaTraveller format.]
Gluek Automation Groom Steward Robot TL12
The Groom is designed around the Gluek Model 12-23 brain, and is fully
capable of replacing a human steward aboard a starship. For additional flexi-
bility, a Groom can also exercise limited control over a group of Gluek
Gophers.
