cannon rules say a PC can carry 1/2 or less of his STR in kg in 1g of gravity and still make a full move<br />is it specified anywhere what a robot can carry?<br /><br />presumably hvy duty robot bodies can carry a lot since they're used for construction and mining<br /><br />I wanted to create a mule bot (lvl 1 or 2) with a binary based remote control to help the party lug stuff (decided against that as the whole thing about wandering the desert of Volturnus is about what can be carried and the decisions made as to what can be left) STILL suppose we had a "Big Dog" robot like whats being tested for the US army:<br />http://i.gizmodo.com/5160863/big-dogs-us-army-antics-keep-freaking-us-o… /><br />You'd only need a lvl 1 or 2 robot with very simple mission: Remain in proximity of team and follow recognized commands.<br /><br />function 1: would define team<br />function 2 would define proximity<br />function 3 would define what are the recognized commands.<br />further functions would define those commands.<br /><br />it would be able to gallop like a horse and be very comfortable in rough terrain (being a quadruped) <br />I'd say that it could hold 4 back pack/ side in saddle bag fashion and could even be ridden with a saddle or drag a traviolis behind it. <br />I suspect it could haul a lot anyone with ideas?<br /><br />what if this robot design was built on a hvy duty robot chassis as a quadruped?<br />it be like a elephant with a howdah walking through the jungle- maybe even give it a trunk like extra limb for uprooting trees in the way. <br /><br />I could easily see a jungle installation patrolled and guarded by this kind of robot with men riding in the howdah with a heavy weapon mounted as well. that could come as a big surprise to unsuspecting PCs<br />
