I'm inclined to disagree on this point. you're gonna be seeing another player's sprite long before you get to see your name, and being able to recognize what role someone is is extremely important when it comes to high-power roles like heads or the AI. if you see an eyebot zipping around taking out external windows, your first thought's probably gonna be, "hey what the fuck, the AI's rogue" which can easily snowball into a massive miscommunication that leaves everyone involved just kinda peeved about it all afterwards

maybe this is a lot of fuss to make about a cosmetic option, but there's precedence for this design concern expressed for things like a proposed set of blue-and-black HoS gear, so I feel like it's important to bring up. I think the other concerns about brain-eyebots being used as borging with an extra fuck-you element are also pretty valid. maybe restricting (visually distinct non-AI) eyebots to accepting SICC brains only could ensure it's a choice instead of a punishment, though at that point one has to wonder if they start encroaching on the niche of the humble ghostdrone instead
