Robot Handbook

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Robots have been a staple of science fiction for a hundred years, fulfilling every role from near mindless worker, to faithful sidekick, to comic relief, to sinister villain trying to take over the world. They range from remote-controlled drones to super intelligent beings who have far exceeded the limits of their biological creators. Robots may be stationary objects equipped with a single arm or nothing more than a radio to control other machines. They may move across the ground, sea or sky, equipped with limbs, tools and weapons of all kinds.

The Robot Handbook is designed to be both quick and easy to use, and configurable to customise all aspects of a robot’s functions, capabilities and skills; a standard robot can be built in just a few minutes. It also includes rules for making nanorobots and microrobots, androids, clones, biological robots and brains for both vehicles and spacecraft. And what is a cybernetic limb but a robot part? The Robot Handbook covers everything from a cybernetic arm to a whole mechanical body with a live brain inside.

The Robot Handbook comes complete with an immense catalogue filled with robots built using these rules, acting as a springboard for your own designs and allowing you to begin using robots right away to be tools, companions or opponents for your Travellers to encounter.

The illustrations on several pages appear as shadows when viewed on Adobe using an iPad, is there any update to prevent this yet?

Does this cover Zhonni robots? We are told they use a lot of them in war etc.

Also does it cover super huge robots, King Kryptor/monkey Lord sort of things? I suppose that is more for the vehicle hamdbook?

Aliens of Chartered Space has some Zho bots, but yes! Five of them. And all the rules you will need to make more or modify the examples given.

Big robots are mentioned, but are mostly built with the Vehicle Handbook - however all the rules for installing a brain to control it are included (both for mechanical ones or your brain-in-a-jar situation). The core design rules cover "rat sized to rhinocerous size". The vehicle handbook design rules are compatible, however.

Only had a quick leaf through, but looks like yet another fantastic addition to the MGT2 library! And can I just tale a moment to extend my appreciation to Mr. Sprange and the rest of the Mongoose crew to finally having taken the step to up the quality of the pdfs! No more compressed-to-death art full of ugly in-your-face-artefacts, and finally sane pdf sizes of 40+ instead of 12-15 MB (which is way too little for such large books full of art if you want a decent graphical quality). So many thanks for that to the Mongoose peeps! :)

Speaking of Babylon 5, Is there a chance that we'll ever see a series of books set in the Babylon 5 universe for this new, great version of Traveller? :)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
