Mister Handy is a robot found around New California in 2161.

Background

This section is transcluded from Mister Handy. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

The first Mister Handy was introduced to the robotics market in 2037 by General Atomics International, as a general-purpose construction and maintenance unit. Used widely on both the American and Mexican markets (especially after the Mexico City earthquake of 2042), it was a rugged, reliable design. So reliable that it only received one major hardware update in 2039, to eliminate a bug causing interference in the operation of the multiple arms. The Calpower 238B nuclear power unit and self-maintenance modes were key to its success, ensuring each robot's longevity. To minimize maintenance overhead, each Mr. Handy was designed to perform its nuclear fuel replacement and radiation cleansing. Each unit could carry out maintenance and repairs on other units (it could not carry it out on itself).[1]

However, as rugged and reliable as the original Mr. Handy was, it was still a design rooted in the technology of the 2030s, with a compact computer brain that was incapable of learning or executing complex tasks without extensive programming. By the 2070s, it was an automaton surrounded by more advanced designs utilizing cutting edge neural networks. In order to maintain their market share, General Atomics entered into a joint venture with RobCo Industries, combining its talent with General Atomics' experience in robotics.[1][2][3] The resulting model was a sleek, elegant design capable of self-programming and initiative, more than making up for halving the number of arms to just three. Despite its sophistication, it was also cost-effective, making it the perfect domestic servant robot.[4][5] The success of this model resulted in the development of several additional models, including dedicated medical and military versions.[6] Sometime before the Great War, General Atomics International and RobCo wanted to upgrade their Mister Handy line by adding an additional hand alongside additional features.[7][8]

Characteristics

Specifications

The Mister Handy robot is a maintenance and construction robot with multiple, multi-jointed appendages, which levitates thanks to its powerful jet-powered engine. They were generally in use as butlers, maintenance workers and sometimes also employed as guards before the Great War.

Gameplay attributes

These robots are in general not designed for any combat, but will still attack with their manifold arms if threatened. Most player characters will have little trouble combating these robots, but for the unwary player character they may still pose a threat.

They actually come equipped with miniguns and ammo, and have the minigun and "Big Gun" animation files, however, due to apparently a programming oversight, their use of miniguns in combat is extremely unlikely due to their ToHit threshold and Aggression value in their AI settings.

Variants

Mister Handy

Mahandaa se

Mister Handy robots pose a reasonable threat to experienced played character, but - being robots - are rather robust and as such can be daunting opponents nonetheless.

Weak Mister Handy

Mahandaa se

The even less threatening "Weak" version of the Mister Handy robot poses approximately half the threat to the player character that his more robust brother does, statistically.
