Description: The combat rover is a wheeled autonomous ground based weapons platform designed to replace sapient infantrymen on the battlefield. A typical weapons load for its arm mounts would include a heavy laser and a 50 mm rocket launcher with homing HEDP warheads. Its payload would contain a 5000 E, 100 E/s high capacity power pack and 4 reloads for the rocket launcher.

This robot's computer is cannot handle a highly sophisticated AI; an IQ 8, Per 12, Will 10 Class 1 AI with combat reflexes is typical, with six 16 point modular slots and the following skill programs in memory: Beam Weapons (rifle) - 17; Brawling - 17; Wrestling - 17; Artillery (Guided Missile) - 17; Intimidation - 14; Observation - 16; Soldier - 12; Tactics - 11. The robot will typically be led by a more sophisticated AI or a sapient officer, which will handle cases where flexibility or innovation are required.
