This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml Onno Meyer, 2010-07-05
Quadruped Surveillance Drone v1.0 (TL11) Copyright 2010 by Onno Meyer In a covert first contact mission, the Quadruped Surveillance Drone is assembled on the orbiting starship once more conventional stealth drones have provided data on the local fauna. The drone is a kit consisting of a head with the sensors, a body with the computer, radio, and power cell, four legs, and a flexible tail.
