Robots, anyone?

Also, if you have Best of Dragon, there are robot rules in one of the older dragons, too. Different, but also good. (in fact, I prefer the dragon article rules to the Bk8 or JTAS ones...)

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.

This apparantly was a thornier issue than I had imagined. I have the Dragon Magazine archive, so maybe I should start there.
