Dear Folks -

Some of
Book 8 came across to MT. For example, legs (table 7, "Contact-Based Suspension" and table 8, "Contact-Based Transmission").
This was then mixed in with stuff from
Striker. However, not enough of
Robots made the cut, and the differing rules systems were not cleaned up sufficiently.
When I create a robot, I use the
Bk 8 rules, supplemented with elements of MT and
101 Robots.
And I use my own, cleaned-up version of the rule when designing legged robots. See:
Beowulf Down ==> Tavonni Repair Bays ==> House Rules ==> Reconciling Robots, Pt 1 (two articles; one has the explanation, the other just the tables).
I never finished Part 2; it was going to be a cleaned-up/enhanced version of the
Bk 8 tables. Try Jeff Zeitlin's site - I think he's got my proposed errata somewhere there.
