hitting inconsistencies.  Most of the RV rules got absorbed into the regular
vehicles rules for 2001.  There were some mech-specific rules left over, but not
enough to make their own supplement, so they got saved for a short chapter in
the nanofleet supplement.

So, I should have used the regular rules. *Sigh*

I made stats for a battlemech I built over the
weekend, and it came to over 200CP with the robotic brain. It seems kind of
expensive, but it cost that much for everything I wanted on it.

200 sounds about right for a good-sized mech.  That's the cost equivalent of 15
armed troops or so.

Cool.

As far as the RB goes, I wanted a backup for the pilot, and to be able to use
the mech without a pilot if needed.

In that case, when you write out the brain program, you just need to make sure
which parts of the program operate when there is a (conscious) pilot, and which
ones operate when there is no pilot.

I'm looking forward to writing the program. I think that's the most interesting
part of the RB. I was thinking of using a flow chart type program.
