The number in the construction system of Book 9 are wonky, seriously wonky, put the features you want down then guesstimate a final size. 

But seriously the 13Mann book is better....


I quite agree.  I was going to give it one more shot in the morning when I was fresh and then switch to that as much simpler...  Shame, but there it is.
(though to be fair, I never found the CT Robot book very easy either.)

Very tempted to go with 
"You see a very nasty looking, well armed dustbin floating in front of you.  It's drawing a bead on you as you watch.  What do you do?"

That's all that's *really* needed!  :-)


Last I used it was to Ballpark the numbers of hits a bot put together with the old jTas system....

Honestly if I where going to write a hybrid system I would start with the MT robots book.... But it had the luxury of being written well after MT was, and wasn't written by Fugate and Company....
