Why not? Maybe make it so that junkbots can construct others, but you can only
send a new one down if you don't already have any...


For right now, I'm interested in getting a basic working framework up and running. Personally I'd have only one JunkBot each anyway, because that way you encourage co-operation between players, and get people to Specialise their JunkBots.

Say I prop a Reactor Part and install it on my Bot, and a way of transfering power between Robots, but my reactor needs RUs to work. You, on the other hand, specialise in RU gathering but find your self running out of power. Obvious solutions occur. If we could do both jobs, there would be less Player/Player co-operation.

Oh, and incidentally, today (Dec 28th) would have been John Von Neumanns 100th Birthday
