Robobrains or brain bots are multi-purpose robots whose memory and programs are stored inside an organic or partially organic brain contained in its dome shell atop the machine. Robobrains were created before the Great War by General Atomics International for the U.S. military and for the civilian sector. They are considered superior to most robots, as human brains allow them a wider range of responses and functions than other robots. Their hands are suited to use most tools and weapons usable by humans.Military variants of the robobrains had alphanumeric identifying serial numbers, following the format of RB-1234.This is from Van Buren:Official government records list only chimpanzee brains as being used in the robots[1], but at least some human brains were taken from the bodies of convicted criminals sentenced to death[2]. Just as well, many of these subjects were criminally insane, so the robobrains they became a part of were not entirely mentally stable, despite complete reprogramming[3], usually with the CODE technology. Some of these human-robobrains would even try to subtly kill themselves, apparently resenting being robotsthis is from fo2However, it is imperative that robobrains be routinely memory-wiped, as it is possible for the brain to break its own programming (CODE or other types) and develop serious personality quirks. Many suffer from this fate and seem to have grown to dislike what they were programmed for, but at the same time can do nothing to stop themselves from carrying out their programmed orders.Robobrains in California and neighboring states do not possess integrated weapon systems inside their frame. Rather, their flexible arms and organic processors were tailored to use regular firearms (such as rifles) in combat, something they are able to do with disturbing efficiency. Most Pre-War robobrains (such as those found in the Glow) carry sniper rifles and assault rifles, although units with city-killer combat shotguns were also sighted. Robobrains could be found in hi-tech locations such as Mariposa Military Base, the Glow, Sierra Army Depot, and in the NCR.
Any action or inaction in a position of power will always grant you enemies
No war was fought on the californian mainland. (if you count out hundreds of nukes exploding )
How exactly is that "unfalloutistic"? There were some robots in fo1 and fo2, centered around previous military bases with a few here and there, that doesn't mean that robots should be common where every third or fourth wastelander has one following them around.
Ye, till now everyone was happy with Mutants with 400 hp and BG.
