Hi all,
This is an extension of the Art Discussion Thread, but it's a little unique. I am requesting help from any of the talented artists here if they can help sketch me a specialized Robots (Book 8) design that I am using in my campaign.
The Robot is the Model SB II SolSec Light Security Robot. I will post full specs below, which follows 100% the LBB8 rules on robot construction. This is a 100% canon Classic Traveller design. Sorry, this is not some uber-powered munchkin robot. The LBB8 makes it hard to create over-powered munchkin designs anwyays.
Second, please understand the reason for choosing the Air Cushion modules. I already said this was a canon design. And canon Traveller specifically states in 50 places that the Solomani Confederation is piss-poor in grav technology (compared to other empires) and that grav robots are rarely used in the Solomani Confederation. AC technology is preferred, and tracked and wheeled robots (e.g. R2D2) are even common. Therefore, I had to resort to using AC (air cushion) locomotion for this purely Solomani robot, which made this design a very very tough feat! But in the end, I succeeded.
My design works. My design breaks no rules from LBB8. And my design is pragmatically affordable, since a SolSec admnistrator can buy 4 of these robots for about 1 million credits. Not only that, but these robots are actually quite intelligent!
If anyone can come up with a sketch based on my description, I'd be tremendously grateful!

SolSec SB II Light Security Robot
SolSec uses robots and droids extensively for security operations. Although the service itself does not have any capacity to manufacture its own robots, it contracts companies such as Panstellar to produce an array of sentry droids and warbots suited to its clandestine operations.
The SolSec SB II security droid is a lightly-armed robot used extensively by the service. Although this particular model is not SolSec's strongest armed robot, it is one of the more flexible designs. The unit is able to operate semi-independently and requires minimal supervision. For the most part, these robots are commonly attached to a small squad of SolSec monitors charged with policing duties.
The SB II has a dome-shaped chassis with an appearance reminiscent of the UFO, approximately 1 meter in diameter. A small protruding and rotating head sits on top of the dome. The head houses the sensors array and much of the electronic circuits that make up the CPU. The robot is powered by three air cushion modules, allowing it to hover 1 to 2 meters above the ground. Its unique shape and mode of locomotion has earned the robot various nicknames as the 'UFO police' or the 'hovercop'. Confederation civilians are often intimidated by the appearance of an SB II, because it usually indicates that SolSec operatives are engaged in serious operations nearby.
