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, 2011-02-07
Starship Technical Robot Mk.VIII v1.0 (TL15) Copyright 2011 by Onno Meyer The Technical Robot helps with routine maintenance and damage control on an interstellar or intergalactic ship. The robot is capable of heavy lifting and surprising dexterity. The Mk.VIII is shaped like an upright egg, with four manipulator arms at 90° intervals around the body. In addition to the robotic hands, the arms contain specialized tool kits, and the force screen can be used to form a 'fifth hand'. Active and passive wideband EM sensors are mounted in a ring around the upper pole, and the lower half is filled with cyberswarm recharging stations. Many structural and motive components are interchangeable with other models of the Mk.VIII series. The reserve power cell lasts for 284 minutes at full thrust. Subassemblies: Body +0, four Arms -2. Powertrain: Four 250-lb. vectored super reactionless thrusters; two 10,000-lb. contragrav generators; 500-kW total conversion reactor; 1,620,000-kWs rechargeable power cell. Armor F RL B T U All: 4/240* 4/240* 4/240* 4/240* 4/240* * plus DR 400 force screen. Equipment: Body: Two long-range gravity-ripple communicators; two short-range neutrino communicators; speaker; four 5-mile AESAs; four 5-mile PESAs; 15-mile multiscanner; two surveillance sound detectors, level 15; 1-mile ultrascanner; transponder; inertial navigation system; C10 hardened, robotic minicomputer (DX 13, IQ 13); FSR 2 force screen, shaped, manipulator (reduced DR 400, ST 40); ten cyberswarm hives. Arms: 0.3-mile searchlights; ST 180 arm motors; engineer and electronics toolkits (in two arms); mechanical and armoury toolkits (in two arms). External: Radiation shielding. Statistics Size: 2'x2'x5' Payload: - Lwt.: 1,000 lbs. Volume: 12 cf Maint.: 41 hours Price: $236,722.5 HT: 12. HPs: 180 Body, 60 each Arm aSpeed: 385 aAccel: 20 aDecel: 32 aMR: 8 aSR: 3 sAccel: 1 Gs sMR: 1 Design Notes Body is 9.6 cf. Arms are 0.6 cf each. Structure is extra-heavy, standard, robotic. Armor is standard metal. Self-sealing. 0.02 cf of empty space. Empty weight is 1,000 lbs. The vehicle uses the design rules from Vehicles [second edition, third printing, December '09 errata], Robots and VXii (including the armor volume rule) with the text format from Vehicles Lite. Next Week: A small shuttlecraft. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
