Robot Assembly

The  is a location on board Mothership Zeta.

About
The Robot Assembly is, as one would suspect, where Support and Guardian Drones are assembled. It is also the location of one of the generators that must be destroyed during the quest Among The Stars. An assembly line (B) must be destroyed to gain access to the generator (the teleport is inactive first time). To destroy the assembly line, go to the end of the assembly line furthest from where you first entered. There is a unique panel you will see when facing east. Use this to detonate the panel and overload the assembly line. CAUTION: Stand back immediately after you overload the assembly line as the resulting explosion is nasty. If you took Somah with you, she will use a teleporter at the beginning and reconnect with you, shortly after you blow up the assembly line.

Notable loot
The Drone Control Device can be looted from the first alien you see in the area beyond the assembly line that Somah tells you to blow up.

44 Alien Power Cells can be found near the robot assembly line, after you go down the stairs near a small container. 12 are on a shelf plus there is 12 and 20 on the floor nearby.

Appearances
only appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.

Bugs

 * You can get stuck in one of the drone pods by going inside of one, then closing it and activating a drone.
 * You can fall through the floor if you are too close to a pod while in sneak mode and attacking something in VATS.
 * You will get stuck in the assembly line if you go into it just after the initial explosion. You cannot loot the robots and it is advised you do not attempt it as a wall spawns by the entrance, trapping you. Although, the wall of the tube to the left of the assembly (looking at the blockage) may not be solid, allowing you to walk through (needs to be confirmed). Reloading a previous save is the only other way to fix this problem (PS3 Confirmed)
