Category: Engineering, Knowledge
Usage: operate(act) -> chk|sv= +M
◊ know(free-act, R, Tech) -> chk= +M
◊ make(day+, R, Tech) -> chk(CC)= +M
◊ modify(day+, R, Tech) -> chk(CC)= +M + (CC-Q - CC)
◊ bypass(main-act, R, Tech) -> chk(CC-S)= +M -> set(PC)= 8 + M(Stealth+S)
◊ modify-rig(main-act, R, Tech) -> eff= give(d) ½•M to artefact chk|sv
◊ disable(main-act, R, Tech) -> chk(CC)= +M
◊ repair(hr+, R, Tech) -> chk(CC)= +M + (CC-Q - CC)
◊ repair-rig(main-act, R, Tech) -> chk(CC)= +M + (CC-Q - CC)
Usage (aspect): provenance -> Tech
◊ diagnose,salvage,search(min, R, Tech) -> chk(CC)= +M(Investigate) +R
◊ appraise(min, R, Tech) -> chk(CC)= +M(Finance) +R
◊ haggle(min, R, Tech) -> chk(SC)= +M(Persuade|Deceive) +R
Description: Encompasses understanding of robots, sensory systems, and mech vehicles.

This engineering forte embodies your understanding of sensory, traction and articulation systems. This commonly means legs, arms and the controllers for them. It can include wheeled and tracked systems, but this is less common, and more in the area of the Machinery skill. Actions with this skill can be applied to bots, droids, and mechs.

Any actions on this skill, beyond that of recalling knowledge, will usually require Robo-Tools to complete it. While the purchase of Robo-Tools incurs a cost, having ranks in Robotics provides you with a rank in Robo-Tools (qualifying you in these tools).
