Description
The economical chassis carries a heavy grasper, precision manipulator, holoprojector, arc welder, circular saw, and fire extinguisher. Its limited active navigation memory and less reliable components restrict demanding deployments, but low acquisition cost makes the series useful for routine hangar work, depot service, local craft support, and expendable technical assignments.
