Agricola mining robot



Built for pre-war uranium mining waste disposal, the Agricola robots can often be found in abandoned mines and nuclear waste facilities. They are extremely well armored and, more importantly, use vacuum tubes instead of integrated circuits. This makes them almost impervious to the electromagnetic pulse weapons that are so deadly to other robots. Agricola Robots are most often equipped with drills and lasers for cutting rock. Used against human beings, they are quite effective.

Appearances in games
Agricola robots were to appear in Van Buren, the cancelled Fallout 3 by Black Isle.

Trivia
Agricola is Latin for farmer. The connection of the name to the use of the robot appears to be nonexistent, as the robot's job is for waste disposal, not farming.
