In Rigger3 p.44 it states that any drone with a robotic brain may use it's control pool as combat or control pool in any action relating to it's prime directive.

But how do you determine Prime directive? In the descriptions there's nothing that says what it's prime directive is for a robot on the ones that have an adaptation pool.

Take the Toyota Mcguyver Search and Rescue Robot. On the one hand since the robot is called a Search and Rescue 'bot it seems like it's prime directive should be saving lives in natural disasters. . . which makes me wonder why it's got an autosoft level 6 demolitions skill. Should it's prime directive cover the use of explosives? Should a prime directive be a paragraph long or a simple sentence?

The wolfhound's a lot easier to understand. It's a recon drone with no bizarre autosoft screwing things up, so naturally it's prime directive should relate to gathering information.
