Hi,
After talking about misprints in the OSF-4 specs in 101 Robots, I
noticed a line missing from my design. Under sensors, there should
be a last line:
Olfactory Sensor*2, Holorecorder*1, Head=40%
Oops.
RobotID: Janitor Dumbot DS-1, TL 12, Cr 15,962
Hull: (1/1) Disp=100Liter, Config=4USL, Armor=4F,

Power: (1/1) Fuel Cell=21Kw, Dur=10 Day
Loco: (1/1) Wheels, Road=100, Offroad=30
Sensors: Audio*2, Visual*2, Olfactory, Headlight, Head=20%
Comm: Radio=Dist, Voder

Nice & cheap. Would be nice to have around my apartment about
now...
Commands to the DS-1 must be rather specific as the unit has a very
limited intelligence. The unit is usually under the supervision of
a household computer.
DS-1 units are often available on a rental basis and will be able
to move rapidly about cities under their own power. However, when
left on their own they have a tendancy to cause traffic jams. They
get confused by "Don't Walk" signs and will stop in the middle of
the road.
Why did the DS-1 cross the road?
Ask it. It's been sitting there all afternoon...
And...................
RobotID: Pseudo-Bio Newsreader Adrian, TL 12, Cr 42,400
Hull: (1/1) Disp=100Liter, Config=Pseudo-Bio, Armor=1(plastic),
Load=31 Kg
Power: External Power Interface
Loco: None
Sensors: Visual*2, Audio*2, Head=10%
Comm: Voder
Off/Def: None
Brain: Lin=14, StdStor=40, Brain Interface
Programs: Performer-3, Emotion Sim, Low Data, Limited Basic Command
Other: Light Arms*2,
Strength=15
Dexerity=4
Intelligence=0
Education=4
The Adrian model Newsreader is only pseudo-biological in appearance
from the waist up. It usually sits behind a desk in front of the
holorecorders reading off the news as fed in by the brain
interface.
We've all seen the meat puppets on CNN. What do you think INN got
to replace Mr. Bishop?
Not much of a change you say?
