Reign of Steel Robot Series?

[MLucas]

So, was wondering if anyone knows what a series L and/or C robot is?

Was reading through the 3e book and it states that the Overseer is in charge of all T, L, and C series robots in its ares. I'm assuming the T series are the techbots, but I cannot find where it states what a L or C series is.

I skimmed through the book and googled it, but can't find it.

I think those were from Gurps Robots (3e) which I can't find in my library.

Reading the 3e Reign of Steel book I can't find the reference for the T,L,C series... what page are you looking at?

Or you are reading the updated PDF?

p. 92, near bottom of page, 3rd paragraph of Central Factory Building section.

[Rolando]

Yes I see it now. Seems to me it means the robot types, probably should be T, V, X, R.

I'm failing to find anything relevant in the Robots book.

[MLucas]

Yea, that's where I'm at. I knew it was talking about the robot types; I just couldn't find the types it mentioned.

I don't guess it really matters though. I was just curious if someone might know where to find the missing types.

I'm thinking T is techbot, and C might be cyborg, but I have no idea what the other one is.

Thank you for help though.

I have no privileged knowledge here. I'd agree with Rolando on T and V, but R and X might be a little more fiddly; I could reasonably posit a "barracks" in the area of control of an individual SAU-02 which might nonetheless fall administratively under a more central "military" Overseer.

Maybe Tech, Labor, and Combat? Possibly a holdover from an early version that somehow missed editing.

That is what It thought, Tech, Logistic, Combat.

But RogerBW have a point there, maybe combat (recon and exterminators) have their own overseer under orders by the main overseer... or it can be an XAU in charge of the combat and recon operations... It may vary from place to place too.

Still, I think the T,L,C series may be a left over mistake.

Edit:
It may also means Tarantula, Centurion and whatever "L" series was to mean.
