ROB64
AFFILIATION Star Fox ROLE Navigation and support
INTEL The ROB unit stationed aboard the Great Fox is a Series 64 support and communications android built by Space Dynamics.
This unit was considered state-of-the-art when it was acquired by veteran pilot James McCloud during his purchase of the Great Fox. James bought the dreadnought-class command cruiser upon founding the mercenary squad known as Star Fox.
ROB64's operating system is fully integrated with the Great Fox, and the robot is programmed to operate the ship's navigation and communication systems as well as deploy supplies and weapons. It is also tasked with basic cleaning and administrative tasks.
Under Star Fox's new team configuration, ROB64 acts as an assistant to engineer Slippy Toad, handling routine Arwing maintenance and repair work as well as, reportedly, providing less-routine support on Slippy's more experimental projects.
ASSESSMENT It should be noted that while this ROB64 unit shows signs of wear and tear, it is reported to function at a higher level than expected for an older-model unit. It has also been known to exhibit occasional "personality quirks" that appear to be outside expected parameters. Observers believe both can be attributed to Slippy's regular upgrades to the ROB unit as well as his penchant for "tinkering" on the team's equipment in unorthodox ways.
