These are bots that have been built to perform tasks and programmed to support the various actions, to allow for increased production in those areas. Their Programing is solely for assistance and tasks, while they are built sturdy 50MD with 24PS robotic and 12 PP, they have no combat capabilities. If attacked they will try to flee only. If destroyed they will spray a Bright Blue dye that smells like cherry skunk. The dye cannot be washed off, very similar to money dye packs.
Sensor Systems of Note:
- Optics: The bots have full optical systems, including the visible light spectrum, infrared, ultraviolet, and polarization, passive nightvision (light amplification), thermal-imaging, laser targeting, and telescopic. Telescopic optics function like built-in binoculars with a range of about two miles (3.2 km). All the other optic systems have a range about 3000 feet (914 m).
- Radar: Can identify and track up to 24 targets simultaneously at a range of two miles (3.2 km). Applicable to flying targets at 100 feet above the ground or higher only. Radar can not track ground movement.
- Magnetometer: detect variation in magnetic fields 100’ radius sensitivity when active.
- Geiger detector: detect various forms and levels of radiation.
- Seismic sensor: 1000 yd radius
- Sonar Detector: 1000 yd radius, adds to ability to parry and dodge (see bonuses).
Radio Communication: Medium-range directional radio for coded messages between bots. Range: 10 miles (16 km). Can also scan and communicate via code on conventional radio channels/frequencies; same range. Can also eavesdrop on enemy transmissions and track transmissions (60% success level) to their source.

Speech: bots cannot speak, although they do understand the spoken word of the common languages. Communicates via radio transmission rather than out loud. However, the bots can say the following commands or statements: “Affirmative.” “Negative.” “Does not compute.” “Error.” “Identify.” “Be silent!” “Halt! Do not move.” “Evacuate the area.” and similar.
Borers
Borers bots are exactly that snakelike bots, that are specific designed to bore through the earth or other materials, Using Vibro and Plasma technologies, the bot can bore through upto 10 miles of earth in an hour. The size of the bore is dependent on the size of the bot, ranging from a few inches in diameter to 30 feet. These bots will carry various compound to reinforce the bore turning it into a low MDC pipe, allowing the creation of quick waste piping. Or conduit to run various piping or communication wires.
Bore-runners
Bore-runners are another specific built bot, these snake like bots, are used alongside/ after the Borer bots they follow up constructing highgrade High MDC piping for water and other materials, through a Borer conduit, or create/ pull MDC communication cabling.
Roadies
Roadies are a collection of specific built bots, These use GIS mapping to as directed, build, repair and maintain the roadways built by Kayakee, out of Earth-crete. A sub group of Roadies are designed with the purpose of clearing the roads in winter, and inspecting the road ways to identify and mark locations in need of repair, This particular Sub group of Roadie bots contain the full bot sensor package, and act as director to the others, which only have specific package to perform operations.
Brushhogs
These are another collection of purpose built bots, that are typically used alongside the Roadies, or various farming or forestry teams. The primary are “Brushhogs” the name given pre-Rifts to large powerful lawnmowers or tractor sleds to clear swaths of tall grass and undergrowth, bush and briar patches. These are self contained bots that will cut down to ground level All those things the plant matter is ground and compressed into bricks for easy transport for various uses.
The secondary are tracked transport bots, used to transport all sorts of materials.
