More customisable minibots

[Dabir]

Yeah, Robotics needs something to do other than just cyborg stuff. I'd love for them to build all sorts of multi-purpose bots to do work around the station.

I'd love for bots to have programmable simple behaviors, like moving a certain count of steps in any direction, searching and picking up items, using said items with their environment. Pretty much anything a player could do, simplified to a list of instructions. Then it's just a matter of setting a robot up for automating a process.

For instance, set a robot up in the kitchen, then program it to walk back and forth from the fridge to the oven. At the fridge, it will search for a white list of items, such a meat. It picks up the item, does it's movements, then drops it in the oven and turns it on and waits for it to cook. Then it just loops that process. Or add extra steps to carry it out to the kitchen as well.

Aphtonites is working on something like that.
