Octo Bots

Octo Bots are large autonomous robots with up to 20 memory metal, Syntho muscle powered tentacle arms that can reach up to 2000m high. Originally, they had only eight arms which gave them their designation.

Octo Bot types.


 * GP - General Purpose - The ones most commonly seen are located at Space ports Class C or better and used to rapidly load and unload cargo containers.  When a spaceport is in the process of being upgraded to a Class C or better from a lower class, one of the first improvements is the addition of a number of GP Octo Bots.
 * BRM - Basic Repair and Maintenace - basic external maintenance and repair jobs  while the ship is on the landing field.  These can attach themselves to the end of the arm of the GP Octo Bot.
 * CRM - Construction, Repair and Maintenance - Used for major external repairs and maintenance, normally inside a fully equiped repair depot.  They are also used in the manufacturing of Star Ships.
