Ideas for a goonstation research system

[69andahalf]

I've been toying with the idea of a form of robotics research that would revolve around going and out killing drones/killer robots. They would drop parts that can then be taken back to the station, scanned, and then if they are useful for anything they would be researched. It would be RNG based, or for high tier robotics then they would drop stuff for better modules or tools.

Based on SpyGuy's Evil Genius play-through, their researchers go around and scan stuff in the base. So it might be cool if scientists have to go around and scan stuff figure out ways to improve it?
