Robot Operator

The individual is trained in overseeing robots and in instructing them in their specific duties. Under ordinary circumstances, a person with Robot Ops automatically succeeds in instructing the robot. For more complicated situations, define a task for the robot to understand. A robot with Intelligence-0 will not perform properly unless it is instructed by someone with Robot Ops. Any robot with an Intelligence 4- (a dumbot) requires supervision of its work at occasional intervals. This can be accomplished by a sophont or by another robot with higher Intelligence. As a rule of thumb, a robot with an Intelligence of 4 or below will have difficulty performing a task for which it has no skill.

To instruct a robot on a task in a skill it has:
Routine, Robot Ops, robot’s skill, 1 min (uncertain).

To instruct a robot on a task for which it has no skill:
Formidable, Robot Ops, robot’s Int, 2 min (uncertain).
Referee: Use the robot’s Intelligence divided by 5 as a DM for this task.
