Congratulations, you now have 11 sword-handed-ninja-robots and the means to transport and control them. Even without taking into account any rigger abilities, the robots throw 9 dice (pilot 3 + autosoft 6) on most of the actions you're likely to order a horde of sword-handed-ninja-robots to take. With all the robots and vans slaved to the connection capacity 15 RCC they all have Firewall 6 and access to up to 5 shared autosofts.

Caution: Robot ninjas are known to be highly vulnerable to Turtle Shifters & Turtle-like SURGE'ed combat adepts.

Heh... Entertaining.

Entertaining, but, um, aren't autosofts limited by the pilot rating? Both in quality and the number that may be run?

Pretty sure just the number that can be run, but that limit can be avoided by sharing them through an RCC, which is what he is doing.

essentially the same trick can be done with other drones as well, of course. the targeting autosoft changes, and they won't be ninjas any more, but you can get yourself a small army of drones if you want

Where did I leave my HERF gun?

Man, never attack a martial arts dojo. I bet these would make great training drones during the day (with boffer attachments over the real swords) and excellent night security.

Heard about a guy who tried to hold up a martial arts dojo. Really. Needless to say, it didn't work out for him.

I'm guessing that went about as well as the geniuses that try to hold up gun shops during business hours.

With knives. It was on the darwin awards.

I'm working on Bodyguard Drones !
using 4 Duelist Drones, Personal Armor and a Shield instead of the second Sword.
But my Chars is lacking the Money right now to fully equip all of them (I got the Drones and the Van nevertheless)
