There is one pilot I haven’t told about here yet .
Alice, the mechanic
The young pilots competing in the arena are all students in robotics engineering. Does not “engineer” contain “engine” ? According to Alice, too many other students are passionate about programming to the point of forgetting the basics of mechanical designing. It would be illusory to consider that this is the simplest part: servos can be easily replaced, but for the rest, it is better to know how to use the contents of a toolbox and know how to demonstrate “ingenuity”. For Alice, dismantling and reassembling is often the best way to repair something. Sometimes it’s just the best way to satisfy her curiosity.
Level 1: Improved Routine. Choose a Bot. It performs a move action of up to 6 hexagons, or an Attack or a Hack with a free reinforcement.
A well maintained and well tuned bot is able to execute a more demanding instruction without even overheating. Doing the same as others but better, isn’t the best way to get the upper hand?
Level 2: Repair. Two “Out of order” Bots are placed in Alice’s starting area. Then each one performs a Move action.
It’s crazy all that people scrap while there is often so little to do for it to work again … Anyway, to the player controlling Alice, this routine is the assurance to not be short of troops.
