Makai Dashiell
Mining Idiot
SPECIAL FEATURES
- A small,agile mining droid created to reach places others couldn't. They excel in harsh conditions ; deep sea, asteroids, small caves and caverns. Singular in focus, the mining droids are tireless and meticulous in their work.
- Collector : Due to programming, the crab droid can easily find and extract gemstones, often going where larger droids or sentients cannot. Large, multiple, optical sensors allow the mining droid to scan its surroundings for its intended target in a 360 degree manner, allowing for fast efficient work as well.
- Optical Sensors : Advanced optical sensors allow for the mining droid to see in the darkest or brightest conditions. As it 'walks' along the sea floor or across a rocky asteroid, optical sensors are constantly scanning for their intended gemstones. This allows for a collection rate above ninety-three percent in any given gemstone rich area.
- Programming : The mining droid can only collect what it is intensively programmed for. For example if the droid is currently only programmed for seafah jewels, it will bypass all other gemstones not meeting its objective. Programming can be intensive, due to needing multiple references of raw gemstones of the the type in question, hence most mining droids of this nature are only programmed to collect one or two style gemstones at a time.
- Intelligence : CLTR-KRB droids only know one thing : gemstones. They have no sense of self preservation or critical thinking skills. They can and will get eaten by wildlife, smashed by falling boulders, get stuck in crevices, etc. As a result, the loss rate for these droids hovers around twenty-percent per mining site.
Inspired when looking for seafah jewels, the crab-like mining droid came about when it was determined sentients were horrible at finding the raw gemstone. Immediately it was thought intense programming of a droid would be beneficial. Experiments by Aina Holdings were done by collecting raw samples of gemstones and gathering as much information as possible, creating programming for the droid to easily recognize their intended target. Able to get in places where sentients cannot, the droids proved swift and agile, able to sweep the sea floor for the gemstones with ease.
Beyond the depths of the ocean, the mining droids are able to handle the vacuum of space with ease, excelling where there is thin atmosphere. As long as the droids are programmed with their intended gemstone, they will work tirelessly, scouting a pre-determined area and range until the resource is exhausted.
There are multiple limitations. The mining droids cannot dig to reach gemstones, they can merely use their small cutting instruments in order to collect, thus leaving the droids only to collect what they can see on the surface. Not intelligent, they will and often do get lost, broken, eaten, or destroyed. Care needs to be taken when setting up their pre-determined mining range, as in trial runs crabs have just fallen in deep sea trenches or crawled off cliffs, not having the programming to anticipate hazards.
CLTR-KRB droids only have one singular focus : collect gemstones, return them to the drop zone, and scuttle out again for the next target.
