Shield-bot

Hovering under contragravity, the shield-bot precedes, trails, or flanks its human user as directed. A built-in fiberoptic periscope and camera with holographic display (across the inner face of the shield) lets the user peep around corners while crouching behind the shieldbot’s frontal armor plate.


I don't own Robots. I may write this up as a piece of Book 3 type gear, or I might use Dragon Magazine's robotics article.

Is the CT Robots book worth buying?


I imagine something like the shield-bot has already been designed. It's a simple concept. Anyone know of a build?

Is this essenty a technological version of those magical bucklers we often see in D&D? The ones that can hover and protect against ranged shots and all that.

Book 8 is very detailed and crunchy. Building a robot is akin to using the Book 6 world building rules.

Some like the process. Some want something more simple.

There are several Recon bots and Scout bots listed in DGP's 101 Robots, designed using Book 8 rules.

Sounds cool, but these days, I might go for something simpler.

I'll have to take a second look at that Dragon article.
