I did something much like this for a railway in a mine. Three robots, to tunnel and build tracks. For a mag-lev, the destructor part could be Powered Tillage Equipment with the extra-heavy-duty modifier and the constructor a cement mixer drum (both VXi20) plus a couple of robot arms. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
