Changes: Agricola mining robot

Revision as of 18:24, 4 July 2012

The following is based on Van Buren design documents and is not canon.

The following is based on J.E. Sawyer's Fallout RPG and is not canon.

Agricola mining robot are robots found in the Midwest in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.

Characteristics

They are extremely well-armored and, more importantly, use vacuum tubes instead of integrated microcircuits like most technology in the Fallout universe. This technology also makes them almost impervious to the electromagnetic pulse weapons that are deadly to other robots. Agricola robots are most often equipped with drills and lasers for cutting rock, that are quite effective when used against human beings.

Locations

Built for a pre-Great War uranium mining waste disposal concern, the Agricola mining robots can often be found in abandoned mines and nuclear waste facilities across the American wastelands.

Related quests

Extinguish the Fires of Burham Springs - Burham Springs has been on fire for years, with no sign of going out. Unknown to pretty much anyone, the Agricola robots actually do possess fire suppression capabilities.

Appearances

Agricola mining robots were to appear in Van Buren.

Behind the scenes

Agricola is Latin for "farmer".

-Agricola is the Latin word for "farmer". However, the name of the robot is more likely to refer to Georgius Agricola (1494-1555), whose book ''De Re Metallica'' was the standard text on geology and mining for two centuries.
